  • Of all the high school basketball players across the land gearing up for the AAU circuit this month, Louis King and Cam Reddish may have the most dramatic story to tell.

    After beating Spain in the FIBA U19 World Cup bronze-medal game on Sunday in Cairo, Egypt, King and Reddish must turn around and compete in a noon play-in game on Wednesday at the Peach Jam in North Augusta, S.C. If they and their Team Final mates beat Nike Team Florida, they will advance to the main draw at Peach Jam. If they lose, they will head over to the Peach Invitational Tournament in Augusta, Ga., with the other Nike teams that failed to qualify for Peach Jam.

    “We knew they were coming back,” Team Final coach Aaron Burt said Monday by phone. “I mean, USA Basketball does a good job when it comes to scheduling around certain things like the Peach Jam, so we knew they would be back.”
