The Capitol City Classic is bringing a star-studded field to the Mid-Willamette Valley next month.

The annual boys basketball tournament announced its 2024 field Wednesday, and it’s loaded with several of Oregon’s top teams as well as plenty of star power from around the nation.

Alijah Arenas, the son of former NBA all-star Gilbert Arenas, and the Chatsworth (Calif.) Chancellors are among the headliners at this year’s event. Arenas is a 6-foot-7 playmaker who is considered one of the best scorers in the country.

Inglewood (Calif.) will be joining its state rival at the CCC. The Sentinels also boast a 5-star junior in Jason Crowe Jr., a left-handed point guard who is on pace to become California’s all-time leading scorer.

Northern Nash of Rocky Mount, N.C., also will be making the trip. The Knights’ must-see player is 6-foot-10 CJ Rosser, who is rated by some services as the No. 1 sophomore nationally.
