ESPN has its own rankings, independent of those from the USA Today rankings.
New Jersey annually has the best high school basketball teams for two reasons: the private schools recruit the best players from the public schools, and they have the best coaches.

Johns Hopkins? Is that a school in MN? Hope they fix their literature before the invitational. It is Hopkins High School in Minnetonka, MN.

i agree but thats crazy those jersey kids is getting it in but, but anthony foy would deal with half of the guards easily he has a quick handle and a more than reliable jumpshot that stretches out way past the 3 point line
