The field of 10 for the AND 1 High School Basketball Championship (HBC) is set. And what a field it is.
</TD></TR><TR><TD colSpan=3>
After weeks of regional play, the field of 10 for the AND 1 High School Basketball Championship (HBC) is set. And what a field it is.
The tourney’s 2005 edition must be exactly what the organizers had in mind, as some of the nation’s top teams from all across the country will meet in Philadelphia this weekend to crown a champion.
There are some new faces and plenty of old ones, but everywhere you look, there seems to be an overflow of talent.
This past weekend, the defending champion, Dunwoody (Ga.) secured its free trip to Philly with a 68-63 win over Chapel Hill. An’Juan Wilderness scored a game-high 29 points to keep Dunwoody’s hopes for a repeat alive.
In the East I regional, St. Benedict’s (N.J.) and star senior Lance Thomas (13 points) just squeaked by St. Patrick’s (N.J.), 43-42.
For the third straight year, Canton McKinley (Ohio) won its regional, defeating Taft, 78-67. McKinley, which won the Ohio state title this year, was led by Raymar Morgan who had 17 points and nine rebounds. Marcus Parker also added 17 points in the winning effort.
Marshall (Ill.) took advantage of Custer, 90-58, to win the Midwest II Regional. This will be the second straight year that Marshall has been one of the elite 10 to make it to Philadelphia for the HBC. Senior guard Patrick Beverly scored 29 points, including 11-of-12 from the free throw line.
So now the field is set: Dunwoody, St. Benedict’s, Canton McKinley, Marshall, Charlestown, Dallas Carter, Laurinburg, Artesia, Rainier Beach and Paul VI.
* * *
And there will be several intriguing subplots in the City of Brotherly Love.
For example, will Canton McKinley and Dunwoody meet again, as they did last year? And if so, can McKinley extract revenge on its way to an elusive tournament championship?
Also, Massachusetts is one of the few states that doesn’t allow its coaches any coaching time in the summer. So while most other coaches can be on the bench during these games, Charlestown’s Jack O’Brien cannot. He can be in the building, but won’t be allowed to diagram plays, call subs or anything like that. In the Northeast regional, nearly every team was in the same situation, so there were no competitive disadvantages, but at the national level, it will be interesting to see how that plays out.
Regardless, O’Brien and his troops seemed pretty happy to be going and weren’t really worrying about late-game strategy.

Canton McKinley (Ohio) emerged victorious at the AND 1 High School Basketball Championship in Philly with a 78-68 victory over Artesia (Lakewood, Calif.) in Sunday's title game.

The fourth annual AND 1 High School Basketball Championship (HBC) featured tremendous play from some of the nation’s top high school basketball programs. And after three days of intense competition during the finals this past weekend at La Salle University in Philadelphia, Canton McKinley (Ohio) trumped the competition en route to capturing the 2005 team championship.
The AND 1 HBC is viewed as the March Madness of high school hoops because if you lose once, you can’t win the title. McKinley was one of 10 regional winners at the finals, but it proved to be the best of the bunch with a 78-68 victory over Artesia (Lakewood, Calif.) in the championship game.
McKinley lost in last year’s semifinals to eventual tournament champion Dunwoody (Ga.), which lost to Rainier Beach (Wash.) in this year’s tourney. Unfortunately, Dunwoody was forced to play without star forward An’Juan Wilderness, who was at the NBA Camp.
Raymar Morgan, who was named tournament MVP, had a game-high 26 points and had 10 rebounds, three assists and three blocks in the win over Artesia. He added 17 points and nine boards in the Midwest I regional final win over Taft, which gave McKinley its third straight regional HBC title.
“His play all weekend long was exemplary,” said McKinley head coach David Hoover. “He’s just a great player who can do a lot of different things.”
Winning the HBC title capped off an amazing season for McKinley, which also won the 2005 Division I Ohio state title.

From the Michigan site...Raymar says the verbals of Conley and Oden increase his interest in Ohio State. He says OSU has not officially offered but they have told him they are going to. His coach talks a bit about how Raymar has matured as a player and a student.
Very postitive article for OSU, especially coming from a scUM reporter. Everything I have heard about Raymar and his situation leads me to believe that an offer is forthcoming provided he has in grades in order. I would love to see Raymar be the 4 in this recruiting class. I think he can do the dirty work like a Harangody, but he is also much more athletic and can put up some points in a hurry.

Ohio State, Michigan State, Michigan, Uconn, Cincy and North Carolina are the schools he is interested in with OSU and MSU in the lead at this point. Morgan says both schools are even at this point and the recent verbals of Conley and Oden have increased his interest in OSU. He will attend the Nike Basketball Camp next week in Indy.
(Wadc......I know your crossing your fingers for Morgan to join the class.... )
