I don't know if anyone is interested at all, but the Basketball Hall of Fame runs a HS tournament every year for the last 5 years or so. They bring in teams from all across the country, and it's right in my backyard. Just to give an idea of the strength of the field, I thought I'd post the schedule. I'm fortunate enough to be working one of the "national" games, and one of the local games. I apologize in advance if nobody but me is interested.

Looks like a great field. Oak Hill Academy is located about an hour from me and they are great. I'm sure you've heard of them. Private school many great players have attended: Steve Blake (Maryland), Ron Slay (UT), Travis Watson (UVA), Jerry Stackhouse (UNC).
