FORT WORTH, Texas — Emoni Bates and Frankie Collins were rightfully the main attraction during Saturday's finale to the Battle Basketball Showcase. But there was clearly plenty of Division I talent on the court.
Ypsilanti Prep Academy — led by Bates, a five-star Michigan State basketball recruit — outlasted Air Nado — led by Collins, a four-star Michigan basketball recruit — in overtime.
The 79-74 win for Ypsi,in front of a couple hundred spectators at Dickies Arena taught us some things about the players involved and state of high school basketball.
