Calvary Christian Academy stars Collin Paul (center) and Cayden Daughtry (right) have been playing together since Paul was a sophomore and Daughtry was a freshman pictured here with former teammate Stone Bureau. Their Eagles will take on Paul VI Saturday.

After a calm opening day on Thursday that didn't deliver any real big surprises, Friday's second day of action at the 41st Annual Bass Pro Tournament of Champions  delivered a couple of minor upsets as two teams currently ranked in AllSportsPeople High School Boys Basketball Top 25 fell to lower-ranked teams.

The bigger upset was the unranked Logan-Rogersville [MO] Wildcats taking down the No. 18 Wheeler [Marietta, GA] Wildcats in a 66-64 nail-biter. Logan-Rogersville is one of two local teams playing in the tournament, and the win propels the Wildcats into the consolation game against the St. John Bosco [Bellflower, CA] Braves who beat the other local squad, the Kickapoo [Springfield, MO] Chiefs, in a 57-48 decision Friday.

Another minor upset on Friday saw the No. 11 Calvary Christian Academy [Fort Lauderdale, FL] Eagles taking down the only other team from the Show Me State on the championship side of the bracket. The Eagles defeated the No. 9 Principia [St. Louis, MO] Panthers, 62-56, to advance to the championship game against the tournament favorites, the Paul VI [Chantilly, VA] Panthers, who blew out the Bartlett [TN] Panthers, 74-51.

Bartlett, meanwhile, will face Principia in the third-place game. The two teams have already met once this year with Principia winning 53-52 back on December 23.

Saturday's action is scheduled to tip off at 2:30 p.m. CST local with the seventh place game between Wheeler and Kickapoo.

    MORE HIGH SCHOOL BOYS BASKETBALL

    Top 100 senior and junior prospects playing in the Bass Pro TOC:

    Class of 2026 seniors

    • No. 2 — CG Jordan Smith (Paul VI)

    Smith is the Class of 2026's No. 2 overall prospect, and he's expected to eventually sign with Duke.

    • No. 9 — PF Christian Collins (St. John Bosco)

    Collins is a 6-foot-8, 200-pound forward for the Braves who is currently unsigned.

    • No. 21 — SF Colben Landrew (Wheeler)

    Landrew signed with UConn back in October so his full focus has been on the hardwood since the season began. His Wheeler squad could run into Paul VI's Smith on the second day of the tournament if both of those teams either win or lose.

    • No. 84 — SF Collin Paul (Calvary Christian Academy)

    Paul is a 6-7 swingman who has the handles and the passing ability to function as a guard while possessing the body of a true small forward. He'll go head-to-head with St. John Bosco's Collins in the tournament's opening round in the only guaranteed matchup between Top 100 seniors in this event.

    Class of 2027 juniors

    • No. 14 — PG Cayden Daughtry (Calvary Christian Academy)

    If Paul is the engine and the firepower for Calvary Christian Academy, then Daughtry is the ignition switch that gets things started. He and Paul will team up against St. John Bosco in the opening round with a potential matchup against Paul VI or Wheeler on the final day of the event on either side of the bracket.

    • No. 31 — PG Kevin Savage (Wheeler)

    Savage and Calvary Christian Academy's Daughtry are the top two ranked point guards in this event, and it would be entertaining to see these two playmakers go head-to-head. That could happen on either side of the bracket, but not before the event's final day.

    • No. 32 — PG Chase Branham (Logan-Rogersville)

    Branham is a tall point guard at 6-foot-4 but lanky at 175 pounds. He's committed to Indiana, and he'll try to lead the locals to an upset of Paul VI on the tournament's opening day.

    • No. 65 — SF Dylan Jones (Bartlett)

    Jones will go up against Wheeler's duo of Landrew and Savage in the opening round in a battle between two Top 25 southern powers.
