- 1994 California Regionals at the newly built Pond Arena where the San Jose Sharks (Pro Hockey Team) play. This was a great high school game that featured Kris Johnson, Shea Cotton and Miles Simon. This would be the 2nd consecutive year that we played Mater Dei. They were ranked higher than use as we took two losses in a row in South Carolina (Myrtle Beach Ball Classic) with one of them coming from Simon Gratz, the former school of my NBA championship (Detroit Pistons) teammate Rasheed Wallace. Kris, Miles and I all signed with Pac-10 schools; UCLA, CAL, and Arizona. This game featured two legendary coaches in Willie West and Gary McKnight.
CLASSIC L.A. CALI HIGH SCHOOL BBALL FOR YA!!☝🏿💪🏿🏀💯…MARQUES JOHNSON MADE A MISTAKE! I WAS CITY AND DIVISION 1 PLAYER OF THE YEAR!!😅😎💯
As a kid in the 90’s I was only able to read about these players in magazines, to see this game now is amazing took me back to my childhood.

The Pond Arena (now Honda Center) where the game was played is home to the Anaheim Mighty Ducks (now Anaheim Ducks) of the NHL.
Yessir!! All facts! I was just happy to see Mater Dei and us be the first high school teams to play there! it was SUPER NEW!! I love Anaheim for hosting the 93-94 Southern Section CIF Division 4A Finals!!!
@@Trefeezygame was EPIC
Great upload bro. I went to westchester in the mid 90’s with billy knight, Jason hart and tony bland. Crenshaw use to give westchester the blues lol. Westchester finally won in 98 and u would’ve thought they won CIF lol. I grew up in the jungles and had homies that hooped at Dorsey. Bro yo name was legendary great to see u upload this. Peace
Thanks bro!💯..J Hart and Billy(rip) my guys! I went to Chester my freshman year and went to Dorsey for bout a week before transferring to Crenshaw lol..When you said the J’s that bring back memories my fam stayed in the jungles we use to have crazy fun.

What happened at Cal?
@@maa7332 alot but you’ll have to google that topic to get the whole breakdown
Awesome video, thanks for sharing this 👍
Thank you! No prob..👍🏿
Mater deis brad williams and dave Castleton were on a national title winning club team, coached by Williams dad. They were Legit and both got #1 in the nation rings on the 94 football team
Edit: williams didn't play this year, he played next year
Classic!
It was a struggle for Mater Dei once Shea Cotton fouled out. I remember sitting in the stands and telling my brother they just lost their inside muscle. Bad officiating with that flop by Johnson. But Mater Dei couldn’t hit water if they fell out of a boat in the 4th quarter, with huge turnovers.
Yep it’s some truth to what you said! It was the same situation the previous year but Miles missed his free throw so with us you have to be finish the game til the buzzer sounds with a lil bit of luck as well lol but two years Of city and state titles isn’t what I would call luck!!🤷🏿♂️…BUT MATER DEI BEST TEAM I PLAYED IN HS HANDS DOWN!!!!’
@@Trefeezy Oh yea for sure. I remember being in 11th grade at this time and saw the rawness in Cotton’s game and thought he was a sure fire lock to play and star at a major college program. To bad it didn’t work out for him.
Like Jay Z said “how come brothers better than Jordan didn’t get that break?” 🙆🏽♂️
I used to talk to Kevin Augustine lil sister for a short time -
Both teams were amazing bit the Shaw was seriously stacked with talent!!!!!
No lies told!! Isaac(Jesuit) and I use to talk about that all the time! We use to workout together in Sacramento after our collegiate days because we had the same agent and we always touched upon the point!! Jesuit had the the height just like us and good team chemistry. That is why we played them back to back years in the State Championship!! They deserve a lot of credit as well. Both Isaac and Chris from those jesuit teams are my guys! Love them dudes!!
Real Doppppeeee🔥
Love ya bro!!!🙏🏿🙏🏿🙌🏿🙌🏿👍🏿👍🏿💯💯
I was at that game. I came away from it thinking Tremaine is the truth.
Wow that’s tight!!💯..classic game☝🏿. Yessir…thank you I appreciate that!!!✊🏿👊🏿💪🏿💯
Never seen him b4 but heard Cotton was a BEAST. Simon was nice, too.
Tremaine ended up going to Cal@@oluhamilton2121 and was just ok; I wanna say he got drafted to the NBA too; but wasn't in long if he did. He was pretty nice in HS tho
I was there too; Anaheim Pond
reminds me, Crenshaw hasn't won a state title in boys basketball in a quarter century, not since 1997, they used to be a beast back in the day, their program is the closest that any CA Boys Basketball program has come towards the success MD has done in boys basketball under McKnight. They also went nearly 20 years without winning a CIF section title in boys basketball, until they won back 2 back CIF section titles in 2016 and 2017, in total they have won 8 State titles and 18 CIF section titles, 16 they won under long-time former HC Willie West.
Many people say MD under McKnight, ruined Crenshaw, Crenshaw doesn't attract or lured talented basketball athletes as much as they used to.
Also, while McKnight is still at MD, MD is currently going through the longest state title drought in the McKnight era, they haven't won a state title since 2014, and MD is nowhere as consistent as they used to be when it comes to winning CIF section titles either, which they haven't done since 2018, it reminds me, in the first 25 years of McKnights HC at MD, MD never went more than 2 years without winning a CIF section title.
Yes City and CIF at its best with the players and coaches. Both West and McKnight are Hall of Fame coaches. City basketball has changed period! Parents are sending there kids outside the city to sierra canyon etc..it’s safer and financially upholds any city school. It’s going to take some major funding for talent to stay in the hood.
Gary is a great coach but I never lost to him so it’s hard to think coach west retired because of him. It took coach Azzam from westchester hs and coach McKnight many years to past coach west, he had been retired by the time those coaches pasted him up on titles and wins. I think hs city basketball will regain its rep in due time.
@@Trefeezy i believe both McKnight and West, they both have been nominated to get enshrined in the Naismith Hall of Fame right? because only a select few high school coaches have gotten in
From Oakland; the Shaw won state titles 1983, 85, 86, (88 #1 in nation and lost scif finals ), 89, 93, 94,97. I am missing one year. It was not that he won over a long period of time. He had the greatest peak ever!!! 7-15 years and in 1988 could have easily won.
@@maa7332 didn't they win an international tournament in 1986?
@@initiatorhater0688 not sure. They beat my team in the state 86'finals though.
8:05 is he related to Brady Karich?
