It usually serves them well come playoff time in their respective states: “Thomas Jefferson (Brooklyn, NY) - Going to Arizona over the holiday break to play in the VisitMesa.com Basketball Challenge, the Orange Wave would go 4-0 in the desert as they brought back victories over four of Arizona's best in Chaparral, Deer Valley, Perry, and Millennium.” my good buddy coaches at Mount Vernon and they travel to tournments around the country during x-mass break......went to California last few years....not sure where or if they traveled this year...a great thing for these kids.

RedZone Posted January 5, 2019 Author Report Share Posted January 5, 2019 Dunham, La vs Bishop Loughlin, NY for the big trophy. Well, thought it might be Scotlandville or Sophie Wright playing the NY squad.....I'm much much better at football. Dun 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They play in the NYC Catholic School league (Brooklyn / Queens Division). They are always a threat to win the league. It’s a damn tough league to win though. Their most famous basketball alumni would probably be former Knick Mark Jackson. Not sure of the specifics of this years team but you can bet they will have plenty of athleticism.

As a guy who grew up on Long Island, it's not as good as it used to be (lots of top players leave to go the prep school route)-in CA the best play HS and club ball and if you are a top 4 team in the CIF-SS Open Division you are really good. A couple of years ago they played a semifinal doubleheader at Galen Center (USC home court). 11,000 in the stands, teams included Sierra Canyon (Marvin Bagley Jr); Chino Hills (2 Ball brothers, Okonkwu), Mater Dei (Bol Bol)-the team that won was Bishop Montgomery (good talent and great coach). You want NBA spawn? CIF-SS has the sons of Rodman (DJ/JSerra), Pippen (Scottie Jr/Sierra Canyon), Shaq (Brentwood Academy) and next year LeBron.

Absolutely right. In contrast the kids in California (especially southern part of the state) still play HSBB and don't go the prep route.

MA Fan Posted January 5, 2019 Report Share Posted January 5, 2019 4 hours ago, legendsofthefall said: The CHSAA (The NYC Catholic League) still has plenty of good teams and talent but it's nothing like its heyday. It was considered the best league in America for many decades. Now with the HS sports landscape having changed and kids leaving NYC for prep schools and better opportunities, those days are long gone. Interesting that this has hit the CHSAA harder than the other Catholic school basketball hotbeds in the Northeast. Any thoughts on why? Just the closer proximity of the New England boarding schools?

The city has become so unaffordable, even in many areas of the outer boroughs. This has resulted in significant demographic changes in a lot of neighborhoods and people moving out. The growing number of prep school/private school options has definitely had an impact too. These kids now have better opportunities on and off the court by going this route. They end up leaving the city for schools on LI, NJ, PA, New England and really all over the country for that matter. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jackson, Smith and Pearl well All Americans as well as All City. They'd all most likely be at prep schools just like Cole Anthony and Cockburn are today.

They'd all most likely be at prep schools just like Cole Anthony and Cockburn are today. very true...in southern California they still play HSBB. The top talent is mostly in 5 leagues: Gold Coast (Sierra Canyon, Windward, Brentwood); Mission League (LA Catholic schools plus Harvard-Westlake (Collins twins among others-elite private HS); Baseline League (Damien, Chino Hills, Etiwanda) and Trinity (OC Catholic HS's plus St John Bosco-Mater Dei is a basketball dynasty, Santa Margarita (Klay Thompson), JSerra, Orange Lutheran, Servite). Del Rey league (Bishop Montgomery won state open division 2 years ago). There are other schools that offer consistently high-level teams (Centennial Corona comes to mind)-but the ones mentioned above seem to be where the top talent gravitates. In LA City Westchester and Fairfax HS's still matter (lots of college/pro talent through both of those)-but past powers like Crenshaw are not a factor as LA City area talent has headed to Gold Coast and Mission League schools. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daddyooo Posted January 5, 2019 Report Share Posted January 5, 2019 I will say that when I arrived in CA a long time ago the local suburban public HS basketball wasn't very good-you would see players on HS varsities that lacked basic basketball skills getting regular minutes. The talent is/was at places like Crenshaw HS, Dorsey HS, etc...now the overall level of play is much better (watching OC public HS teams the players do have basic skills if not the athletic ability you see at elite schools like Mater Dei or Bishop Montgomery).
