Prolific Prep vs. Columbus: Elite Showdown at Florida Atlantic University
Basketball fans, mark your calendars! On November 19th at 7:30 PM, two high school basketball powerhouses clash in a marquee matchup at Florida Atlantic University. Prolific Prep, the #11-ranked team by Sports Illustrated, takes on Columbus High School from Miami, the current #1 team in the nation. This game promises to be one of the highlights of the season, bringing together star-studded rosters and a rivalry renewed.
A Battle of Titans
Prolific Prep, under head coach Ryan Bernardi, enters the game with a chip on their shoulder. The Grind Session powerhouse is chasing a historic third consecutive Grind Session championship, but this game is personal. Last season, Columbus edged out Prolific Prep in an 81-78 overtime thriller at the Columbus gym. Coach Bernardi and his squad are determined to even the score on a neutral court in Boca Raton.
Columbus, led by head coach Andrew Moran, boasts a stacked roster headlined by Cameron and Cayden Boozer, sons of NBA and Duke legend Carlos Boozer. The twins, both high-profile recruits, bring skill, basketball IQ, and championship pedigree to the court. Columbus’s dominant season has solidified their top national ranking, but Prolific Prep has the firepower to challenge them.

- Winters Grady: The sharpshooting senior committed to Michigan played a pivotal role in last year’s matchup and returns with experience and leadership.
