[b]Vance guard Ogbueze transfers to United Faith[/b]

Braxton Ogbueze has transferred from Vance and enrolled at private school United Faith, Falcons basketball coach Shaun Wiseman said.

Ogbueze, a 6-foot junior guard, was Vance’s leading scorer last season.

ESPN ranks Ogbueze as the No.29 recruit in the nation in his class.

United Faith also added Croatian exchange students Ivan Benkovic, a 6-5 junior forward, and Bruno Becca, a 6-9 sophomore center, as well as England’s Bradley Fisher, a 7-1 freshman center. Wiseman said Becca and Bradley will play junior varsity.
