The winds blew some of the hottest names in high school hoops into Santa Ana, California this past weekend for Mater Dei's annual Nike Extravaganza. From the Ball brothers of No. 6 Chino Hills, Mater Dei's new ultra-infused lineup that includes 2018 Flo40 sensation Bol-Bol, to the legendary Oak Hill Academy Warriors, it's safe to say the squad came out for this year's show.

Let's find out why:

Friday


NO. 7 OAK HILL (86) vs. FOOTHILLS CHRISTIAN (58)
Oak Hill was simply too strong for Foothills Christian from the start. Iowa State-bound guard Lindell Wigginton had the hot hand for the Warriors, draining six 3-pointers en route to 29 points. Billy Preston dominated the paint with 19 points.

If anyone was going to stop Oak Hill, it was 2017 No. 24 Jaylen Hands. The UCLA signee gave the Warriors all he had with 33 points and a performance that definitely pleased the crowd.

Saturday


NO. 2 SIERRA CANYON (98) vs. BISHOP GORMAN (72)
2018's No. 1 player, Marvin Bagley III, was on another level for the Nike Extravaganza. Bagley III exploded for 43 points and 14 rebounds, eliminating any chance Bishop Gorman would pull off the upset.

Bagley broke a Nike Extravaganza scoring record in the process.

NO. 9 MATER DEI (74) vs. ST. AUGUSTINE (62)
Mater Dei put its flashy new lineup on stage against San Diego's St. Augustine. 2018 No. 37 Bol Bol was an absolute sight with 26 points including this through the leg's slam.

Fresh off a commitment to Cal, Mater Dei's Justice Seuing added 18.

NO. 7 OAK HILL (96) vs. NO. 6 CHINO HILLS (91)
Every tournament has its headliner, the game everyone is waiting for, this was the prime time show at Nike Extravaganza. Chino Hills was riding a 60-game win streak into the contest and truthfully, was up for its biggest test of the year.

Oak Hill brought the whole squad to crack the code on Chino Hills. Five players finished in double-figures, lead by Lindell Wigginton (35) and Billy Preston (16).
