December 26, 2014 08:42 PM

Some of South Florida’s best talent will take on some of the nation’s best in basketball over the next few days.

The 26th annual Junior Orange Bowl Classic basketball tournament opens Saturday and continues Monday and Tuesday at Reagan/Doral High, and will feature top-flight South Florida boys’ and girls’ teams taking on top-tier teams from Ohio, Wisconsin, Maryland and Virginia.

The boys’ field includes several of the area’s top teams, including Class 2A contender Miami Christian, Pembroke Pines Charter (led by Marquette signee Haanif Cheatham), Miami Beach (led by 7-1 sophomore center Zach Brown), Monsignor Pace and its up-tempo style, and Coral Reef.

They will be matched up with Madison Memorial, a state final four team in Wisconsin seven of the past 11 years, Lakota East, the No. 1-ranked team in the greater Cincinnati area, and Largo (Upper Marlboro, Md.), which is led by 6-8 center Abdulai Bundu.
