LaMelo Ball’s Spire Destroyed LeBron James’ St. Vincent-St. Mary High School

Last month, it was revealed that LaMelo Ball will return to High School for his senior year! He will complete his senior year at #10 ranked Spire Prep Academy in Geneva, Ohio.

Melo had spent the past year competing in the JBA as a professional, but the Ball family contended that LaMelo wasn’t compensated. Other schools are not sure about that statement and are hesitant of playing against LaMelo. One of them being Oak Hill, who cancelled their December 3 contest against Spire. According to head coach Steve Smith, Oak Hill’s eligibility in the Virginia Independent Schools Athletic Association would be jeopardized by playing against Ball.

Ball’s team therefore played LeBron James’ alma mater high school,St. Vincent-St. Mary, who, in retrospective, should also have cancelled the game, as they were blown out by Spire 81-58.
