TOP PLAYERS DECLARE FOR NBA DRAFT
I love basketball, but like many others, except for the season ending NBA playoffs, I could care less about professional basketball.  Millionaires running up and down the court or on another playing field, just doesn't turn me on.  Now, the annual NBA Draft is causing more dollar signs to shine in the eyes of top young players around the country....NBA DRAFT

2007-2008 STATE CHAMPIONS
All the State Champions and Runnersup have now been decided.  Each State Champion and Runner-Up, both boys and girls, are now listed. This has not been an easy process but it's been  fun and the hard work has paid off as all the finalists are shown with their final won-loss records. Unlike national organizations like Max Preps, who do a good job with a national staff of writers, I am the only one with HoopsUSA and I have spent many hours not only searching for correct scores and team records, but the city or community where the schools are from as well.  Hopefully my readers will be pleased having all the state results in one place rather than searching everywhere trying to get them. Here is a detailed list of champions and runners-up for each state....... AL-CO-CT-ID-IL-MD-MA-NE-NV-NY-NC-PA-RI-TX-UT-WY

POLLS  SHOW  VERSIONS  OF NATIONS TOP TEAMS
The latest polls note different versions of the nations top high school teams.  As readers of this site know, I do not feel that Oak Hill and other schools that are non sanctioned by their individual state, are in the same league as the schools that must abide by strict rules including the recruitement of new players every season.  I do respect and publish those polls because those guys are intelligent.  I think they know they're wrong but they'll never admit it.  That would make me right and they're not going to let that happen.  The polls I will publish later separate the nations schools into three divisions, Traditional Schools, "National" Schools and Prep Schools.  Here are the latest polls..

2006-2007 USA  BOYS STATE  CHAMPIONS
All of the Boys State Champions for the 2006-2007 season have been decided.  While looking over our list, you won't see schools like Oak Hill Academy and other "National Schools" because most aren't allowed to play for state championsips. That's just one reason of many why those teams are in a separate rating from traditional schools in our ratings. How a team can win a National Championship without winning a State Championship is a question someone other than me will have to answer.  Here is an exclusive HoopsUSA listing of all the final teams from every state with school, city the school is from, scores and won-loss records....A-K  -  L-M  -  N-O  -  P-W 

VACCARO AGREES - HOOPSUSA RATING
Sonny Vacaro
(pictured with NBA superstar LeBron James) has been one of the most knowledgable and influencial individuals involved with high school basketball for many years.  He agrees with my concept regarding teams shown in my "National" ratings.  There will come a day when all the national polls, coaches and fans around the country will realize how right I am about this important subject....Sonny Vacaro

DANNY  HEATER:  ONE  GAME  135  POINTS
This happened during my final year of high school basketball. A long time ago. When I was wondering how it might feel to score forty points in a game, a young man in West Virginia was putting up 135, a record that has still not been broken by a boys high school player. Here are four articles going back to 1991 that I thought some fans might enjoy......The Ballard Of Danny Heater  -  More
