Yep, there really is a HS National Champ (or there was a national tournament which included HS teams from around the country).

Go here for tourney details/brackets:

Question

Dan,
I've never been involved with any HS teams that leave the state to play anything, except for early season track meets.
Do you know if intra-state tournament basketball is commonplace during the off-season?

During the season I work a prep school league that includes
teams from NY, Connecticut & I believe Mass. There are
also team summer camps that invite HS teams like this one,
as well as AAU but I don't think this is what you mean.
I don't know if this means intra-state play is common but
it does happen.

Dan,
I guess I'm talking about legitimate High school teams that are intact from the high school season, including underclassmen as participants, who are playing in tournaments from other states and which are school system sponsored.

Hmmm...interstate (public?) school system sponsored
tournaments...I do know that during the season there is
some interstate play, mostly within the top rated teams
who go out of their way to see new competition, and
certainly during Christmas tourney time there is inter-
state play as well. Now come to think of it I believe the
vast majority of the East teams from this tourney (at Seton
Hall) were prep/catholic. I don't know how the public
schools (White Plains, for instance) got their
funding/insurance/blessing. And since the Seton Hall session was NCAA sanctioned it might have needed an
army of lawyers to figure out anyway. Also, I remember
that last season Chuck worked a HoF HS tourney that drew
from different states, I dont know the details on that.
Good question.

This was a "championship" of summer league playoff champions who the went to a national playoff in Philly. Please note (and not just cause I now live in the DC area) that DeMatha was not coached by Morgan, but by their summer league coach. Don't know that it would change the result, but it is an interesting fact to consider. Also, Gonzaga HS won a summer championship in this area the same day that DeMatha lost, but played a Montrose Christian team minus 3 starters (something I have been dealing with in summer ball as well).

All these teams are just doing that summer ball thing and it ain't a real game, ain't a real championship in my book. If it was, we could take that Boston summer NBA league and crown the next world champs - it means about as much. DBTH

That's true, the V coaches are not allowed to participate in these summer things.
