The Battle Basketball Showcase is coming to South Carolina for the second event of 2021. The Battle, presented by Gold Level Sports and Entertainment, will feature two highly anticipated matchups at Bob Jones University in Greenville, South Carolina on February 6th.
The first matchup will feature back-to-back state champions, Dorman High School against a second local team that is to be determined.
The marquee matchup of the event will be the highly anticipated clash between the No. 1 class of 2022 recruit, Emoni Bates, of YPSI Prep and the No. 2 class of 2023 recruit, Mikey Williams of Lake Norman High School. The Battle will be the first time these two basketball phenoms compete against each other in their high school careers and it will all take place in Greenville, South Carolina.
