A busy opening week of the boys' high school basketball season culminates Friday and Saturday with several tournaments and classics throughout the state.

The biggest event this weekend is the Fresh Coast Classic, which pits some of the schools from the Milwaukee City Conference against some of the top suburban teams in the Milwaukee area.


The marquee game features Milwaukee Riverside, which is ranked No. 5 among WIAA Division 1 schools in the preseason rankings of the Wisconsin Basketball Yearbook, against two-time defending WIAA Division 3 state champion Brown Deer at 8:00 p.m. on Saturday.

Riverside went 2-0 at the Tournament of Champions event in Washington, Illinois, earlier in the week behind junior George Dixon, who is averaging 21.5 points and 16.0 rebounds per contest.
