RALSTON -- Three Lincoln teams are participating in this weekend's Nebraska Prep Classic basketball showcase at the brand new Ralston Arena in Ralston. Among the teams playing Saturday is Lincoln Southwest, who will face Omaha Creighton Prep at 4:45pm. Size and quickness in favor of the Silver Hawks may be the difference according to Prep head coach Josh Luedtke. Other games on Saturday feature the Lincoln Northeast boys in a Class A vs. Class B match up with Gretna at 3:15pm, and Lincoln Pius X opens up the Saturday session against Ralston at 1:45pm. Omaha promoter Jim Huffman says this is a great opportunity to expose high school basketball in Nebraska. Two out of state schools, Sioux City (Iowa) Heelan and Topeka (Kansas) Highland Park, are participating in the Prep Classic. The Heelan girls play Bellevue West at 6:15pm Saturday, while the Heelan boys play Class A third-ranked Papillion-LaVista at 7:45pm. Highland Park will face the Bellevue West boys to conclude the session at 9:15pm.
