The DePaul Prep Rams defeated the Francis W. Parker School Tuesday 65-32 at DePaul Prep’s Tom Winiecki Gym in the Battle of the Bridge Thanksgiving Tournament.
This year’s Rams are young, starting only one senior, Maurice Thomas, two juniors, Payton Kamin and P.J. Chambers, and sophomores, Jonas Johnson and Makai Kvamme.
Despite limited playing time, DePaul junior forward, returning starter and 15th ranked prospect in the class of 2024, Payton Kamin scored 29 points leading all scorers.
The other DePaul Prep junior standout and 19th ranked prospect, Jaylon McElroy, is sidelined with an injury and is not expected to return until January.
Nevertheless, the Rams handled Parker jumping out to an 18-4 lead in the first quarter. Parker rallied to out score the Rams in the third quarter but the Rams were simply too much for Parker. Final score 65-32.
