Brentwood Academy vs. Mater Dei

[itzme]

Brentwood Academy travels out to California to play USAToday #25 Mater Dei on Saturday. Mater Dei is the big favorite, but who will root for, and why?

 

Not a question of who do you think will win, but who are you rooting for.

Mater Dei is a heavy favorite, but if Brandan has an impressive slam dunk, we should not care about the score. I mean it is out of region...

Clearly not. I think they're something like 8-13 so far.

I read in the paper that this is a tournament.....will BA keep playing if they win or have to come home? Also, are there other any big name schools participating?

It is my understanding that it is a Showcase with single games.

You have got that right. They are a Southen California private school with an enrollment of 2200 9th-12th. They have been extremely successful since the 80's with the same coach. BA has a 9-12 enrollment of just over 400, so they will be "Davy Crockett at the Alamo". On top of all this - they have got to deal with the fact that "lionfan" is rooting against them.
