Several high school basketball teams are in action at the second day of the Hoophall West Classic in Phoenix, Arizona — and two of the nation’s best programs won in blowout fashion on Friday.

Sherman Oaks (Calif.) Notre Dame defeated Henderson (Nev.) Coronado 84-40 in a mind-boggling 44-point victory.

Five-Star Plus+ junior small forward Tyran Stokes accounted for a double-double with 17 points, 10 rebounds and nine assists. Stokes was 5-of-8 from the field and 7-of-8 from the free-throw line.

Others in double digits for the Knights included Zach White (22 points), Josiah Nance (15 points) and Micah Tannenbaum (10 points). Nance was a perfect 2-for-2 from beyond three-point range.

Bellflower (Calif.) St. John Bosco was also in action on Friday, beating Layton Christian Academy (Utah) 61-32.

Chris Komin led the Braves with 17 points while elite junior SF Christian Collins recorded a double-double with 14 points and 10 rebounds. Komin was an impressive 5-of-10 from three and attempted just one shot from inside the arc.

St. John Bosco is the No. 2 team in America, according to the On3 Composite High School Top 25 rankings, while Notre Dame ranks No. 19 in the country and No. 5 in California.

The Braves are near-perfect on the season with a 16-1 record, their only loss coming earlier this week to No. 7 Roosevelt in overtime. St. John Bosco has notable wins over Glendale (Ariz.) Sandra Day O’Connor and Phoenix (Ariz.) Sunnyslope.

Notre Dame is 14-2 in the 2024-25 season with losses to Roosevelt and Layton Christian. The Knights have picked up wins against Provo (Utah) Timpview and Chandler (Ariz.) Basha.
