• DC International – CCPCS will face DC International on December 10, 2024, while PPCI plays them a day earlier on December 9, 2024.

Looking Ahead

Both CCPCS and PPCI have promising seasons ahead, though CCPCS enters with a slight edge based on their early performances. With strong individual performances like Drew Whittington’s 22 points per game, CCPCS could continue to develop and compete effectively. However, as PPCI begins their season, their ability to hit the ground running will be key to their success.

Both teams will have opportunities to prove themselves against common opponents, and as the season progresses, it will be interesting to see how they adapt and improve in response to tough competition. With CCPCS’ current experience and PPCI’s fresh start, this could be an exciting season of high school basketball in the D.C. area.
