Thanks for post the info, Rut. I found it an insightful read.

I will pick one nit. The last two seasons Oak Hill has come out and played Westchester in the L.A. area. They have insisted on NOT having the local SoCal guys ref the game. They used officials from Las Vegas instead.

tomegun can confirm this.

Well I do not know who they would have brought in. As I said one of the officials was paid less to work that game then the game he worked the next night. So that tells you what they think of our ability as officials. If that was such an issue, then Oak Hill should have put in the contract to bring outside official. Not sure where the officials would have come from, but you would have had to pay more what they paid the officials for that game to get any good officials completely outside of the area to work that game.

I'm guessing that the team from Huntington, WV will now be #1. They are pretty good - with OJ Mayo (#1 player) and Patrick Patterson (#12 player) leading the way. Add Chris Early to the mix who's already signed at Oklahoma. Imagine how good they'd be if Bill Walker (K State) had any HS eligibility left. Who'd a thought a team from WV would have been the best team in the country?

I'm sure it makes Randy Moss and Jason Williams proud. Isn't the WV team coming on ESPN within the next few weeks?

End of January - play Artesia, CA (sp) at Duke. I think Coach K wants Patterson pretty bad.

Funny you mention Randy and Jason - both are pretty much jerks. Their high school team had 5 pro athletes and couldn't win the state tournament!

Who were the other 3 guys on the team?
