JACK CURRAN
MOLLOY'S JACK CURRAN HONORED IN NEW YORK IF someone had told me twenty years ago that legendary Coach Coach Jack Curran and I would be good friends one day, I wouldn't have believed it. I have followed his career for many years and got to know him well during his trips to Myrtle Beach where basketball and baseball teams have played many times. He is not only a dedicated coach, he is a saint among men and I love the man. He was honored this week two wins shy of his 900th victory. He has already doubled that number in baseball...Jack Curran

STATE POLLS - ALASKA - HAWAII
INDIVIDUAL STATES HIGH SCHOOL POLLS There are many National High School Polls and at least one listing of individual state high school ratings for fans to see. As far as I know there are none that show the exact ratings produced by each state. The individual state writers and pollsters know what teams in their areas are the best and I value their opinions. Here is a list of the polls produced by newspapers, websites and other media in the individual states. The polls come out at different times during the week and I update as the new information is received State Polls...A-H - I-L - M-NY - NC-T - U-W Click Here For MaxPreps.com Individual State Ratings which are more updated for most teams in each state

2007-2008 HOOPSUSA BOYS HIGH SCHOOL RATINGS
HOOPSUSA RATINGS SHOW THREE CATEGORIES This week's HoopsUSA National Boys High School Ratings show three different categories of teams. In my opinion this is the correct and only true way to rate teams. While rating teams may be a guessing game at best, my system at least puts teams where they belong instead of rating them all together in one poll. My annual Consensus Ratings will begin when all of the top polls start rating teams on a weekly basis. I of course invite comments and any differing opinions..HoopsUSA Ratings

ALL USA STATE CHAMPIONS HAVE BEEN DECIDED 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.

BOB HURLEY
ST. ANTHONY"S BOB HURLEY COLLECTS 900TH WIN If a coach wins twenty games for forty consecutive seasons, he or she would have eight hundred victories which is very rare in high school basketball. Coach Bob Hurley just recorded victory number nine hundred last week and has already surpasses that number. That's an amazing feat, especially considering the fact that New Jersey schools, unlike Texas, Louisiana and other states, can play only a low minimum number of games each season. Bob looks to be in great shape so only time will tell how large that winning toal will get before he retires.

ST. PATRICK CELTICS WIN A GAME FOR THE AGES In what has to be one of the best high school games ever played, both from a team and individual perspective, Elizabeth (NJ) St. Patrick outlasted Huntington (WV) High 78-76 last night. A game like this one very often goes on a little longer and this one did as the Celtics watched three final shots bounce off the rim in the final few seconds that could have won the game for Huntington just before the horn sounded ending overtime and the game. Individually it just doesn't get any better. O.J. Mayo (pictured left) went off, scoring 47 points for Huntington, but Corey Fisher (pictured right) scored 37 for St. Patrick and had some key assists. Jeff Robinson scored 23 points for the Celtics...St. Patrick

The top individual matchup may be between Montverde's 7'1 Solomon Alabi (pictured bottom left) and Benedictine's 6'7 Ed Davis (pictured bottom right). Benedictine School had an early season loss to powerful Oak Hill Academy and that is the only blemish on their record. A victory over Montverde Academy, presently ranked number one in the HoopsUSA "National" Ranking, would put a solid exclamation point on their already outstanding season.

GEORGIA TEAMS OUTSHINE NATIONAL OPPONENTS The state of Georgia has as much team and individual talent as any state in the country and they put some of that on stage Saturday night in the PrimeTime Tour Georgia event. The event was played before a large crowd at Norcross High School. The results showed Dunwoody High pounding Fort Lauderdale (FL) Pinecrest 87-61, Decatur Columbia beating top twenty five foe Mobile (AL) LeFlore 68-65 and powerful Norcross ripping Jacksonville (FL) Arlington Country Day 88-69. Marietta Wheeler (N.C. State commit J.J.

NATIONS BEST TEAMS FACE TOUGH MATCHUPS
NATION'S BEST TEAMS FACE BIG MATCHUPS AHEAD Now that Mouth Of Wilson (VA) Oak Hill Academy (Nolan Smith pictured right) and Lakewood (CA) Artesia (Renardo Sidney pictured left) have bitten the dust, Huntington (WV) High will probably be the nation's number one team come next Monday. Oak Hill lost to Chicago Simeon and Artesia was defeated by unheralded La Mirada. The Highlanders of Huntington also face tough games ahead with a January 30 game against Artesia at Duke's Cameron Indoor Stadium and games later against Scott County from Kentucky and St. Patrick from New Jersey. Oak Hill Academy jumps back into the fire against Santa Ana (CA) Mater Dei, also at Duke on the 30th. Of course all of the top teams still face games against dangerous in-state rival teams. It'll be interesting to see who'll grab the brass ring as the nation's best team at the end of the season.

THE FABULOUS WATERLOO WONDERS
THE FABULOUS WATERLOO WONDERS (OH) LIVE ON As the 2005-2006 basketball season comes to a close, I thought it might be a good time to reflect back to another era that produced a great team in the beginning years of the game. At the bottom right of this home page I still have stories listed about teams and stars of the past including “Bevo” Francis, Frank Selvy, Danny Heater and several stories about playground legends from New York and others cities. Many basketball fans have seen or are familiar with the movie Hoosiers, but this may be the greatest basketball story of all....The Waterloo Wonders

GAMECOCKS WINS NIT CHAMPIONSHIP......AGAIN! Leading from start to finish, the South Carolina Gamecocks became the first team to win back-to-back National Invitational Tournaments in over sixty years last night with a 76-64 win over Michigan. South Carolina had a disappointing season up until the SEC Tournament, but reached the final, losing by only two to Final Four participant Florida. The Gamecocks had defeated the Gator's twice during the regular season. By the end of the season, the Gamecocks could be called nothing less than a damn good team. Here's the story from the New York Post with a 100 picture photo gallery.....NIT Champions

NIT FINALS - SOUTH CAROLINA VS. MICHIGAN
SOUTH CAROLINA MEETS MICHIGAN FOR NIT TITLE Two teams that are playing as well as any in the country have reached the championship game of the NIT in New York. South Carolina, the defending NIT Champion, has beaten some of the top programs in the country on their miracle ride. The Gamecocks defeated NCAA finalist Florida twice and lost to the Gators by only two in the SEC finals. Since then Dave Odum's team has swept past Western Kentucky, Florida State, Cincinnati and Louisville. Michigan, coached by former Duke star Tommy Amaker, got off to a great start, but faltered later and did not get the bid they wanted to the NCAA. The Wolverines won the 2004 NIT title.....South Carolina - Michigan

His father George taught religion at Brigham Young and has authored many books. Their superb new book is about more than just the game or themselves however. It's just as much an instructional guide with real life lessons. The following link leads to information about the authors and their book....Raising An All American

PREP SCHOOL PHENOMENON
PREP SCHOOLS THE NATION'S NEW PHENOMENON There have always been Prep Schools around the nation, particular in the eastern part of the country but now, more than ever, Prep Schools are showing up everywhere. Post Grad schools and others who don't go the fifth school route have become a phenomenon. The real purpose of the schools is stated to be a chance for youngsters to improve their education. Now, with hundreds of players coming to the states from all over the world and others who leave regular high schools to joing prep school teams, many feel that winning games overides education with some schools. Whether that is the case are not, colleges are knocking down the doors to get these very talented youngsters to join their schools. Here is a list of the top twenty five post grad players from Scout.com, but there is more super talent out there, much more.....Post Grads.
