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: http://www.and1.com/HSNC/index.asp Go here for article on the championship weekend in Philly: http://www.philly.com/mld/philly/spo...ll/3665369.htm

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? mick |

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.

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. mick |

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 |
