Any scenario is hypothetical. It’s not fact. It’s only speculation. So, with that said, the only thing to base this decision is the body of work. Throughout the season, Nathan Hale, which started the season at No. The Raiders finished with a perfect record, beat worthy league rivals Rainier Beach and Garfield a combined total of seven times, and capped their season off with a Washington 3A state title. They also had Michael Porter Jr.
The Lakers played a national schedule during the regular season, most notably beating No. They faced off with Karl Anthony Towns and his St. Jospeh team from New Jersey, before prevailing If it weren’t for a loss to Curie at the Spalding Hoophall Classic that was later ruled a forfeit, this team would be higher on this list. The Eagles defeated No. They play in one of the top conferences in America. Their dominance as a program has reached more than 50 seasons. The team was the best DeMatha ever had.
This team had an unbelievable amount of size and discipline. I stand in awe of him. His overall record at the time was 1, wins and losses. Wootten turned down the offers, according to Sports Illustrated, because the Maryland job, was the only college job he wanted. Facing one of the top leagues in America, Dematha faced several out of state schools as well. Adrian Dantley was the greatest player in DeMatha history and one of the best ever produced in the Washington area.
The athletic forward was a smooth outside shooter, a force on the inside with an explosive first step, and a master of psychology.
He practiced obsessively, even on Christmas Day, when he would pick up the gym key from Coach Wooten’s house. As a freshman in , Wooten received a knock on the door. He was shocked when their stood the Dantley, on not just any morning but Christmas morning. As a senior leader in Dantley averaged over 22 points and 11 rebounds per game.
During his career, he led DeMatha to a combined record, earning high school All-America honors. The Kenny Carr was an unbelievable power forward for Dematha.
As a junior in Carr dominated the paint, before heading off to NC State. Eventually he was drafted by the Lakers 6th overall in the NBA draft. Giving the team, 2 NBA lottery picks. He had a good career at Virginia averaging 11 points per game. As a senior in Langloh was one of the primary guards for Dematha.
Eric Coard seldom played until his senior season, he played good enough to earn a scholarship to the University of Nebraska. Vern Allen started at center for the Stags, his role was mostly to rebound and play defense. He was good enough to play at the University of Niagara.
The Stags only had one loss on the year and it came to Baltimore powerhouse Dunbar. John’s the night before, and we came up to Baltimore the next day and just got outplayed. The place was packed, and Sugar’s guys came to play. Skip Wise was unbelievable.
Absolutely unbelievable. The team was absolutely dripping with talent, under the leadership of Morgan Wooten it was hard to deny their greatness. They played in one of the toughest leagues in America and only lost a game to a standout individual performance. Tolentine Bronx NY , St. Vincent St. McKinley Tech D.
Arguably the best to come out of D. A couple played in the NBA or were drafted. Most commenters have emotional ties to their favorites. I understand. Those who really know the game coaches, players, fans will agree.
If you can find a High School team better then the Dunbar Poets of , please shut me up!!!!! Bonner PA ; St. One of the losses was to the Maryland Frosh by one point on their home court; the second loss was to Georgetown University frosh. In , Thompson of Providence U. Carroll overwhelmed each the first five tournament teams by an average of 25 points. Only four of 32 teams came within 10 points of Carroll: two high school and two university-freshman teams.
James PA , St. Thompson, Leftwich and defensive-star Walter Skinner were starters on both the and the Carroll teams. Senior Kenny Price was the fifth starter in Only four of 32 teams came within 10 points of Carroll: two high-school and two university-freshman teams. Dunbar Senior High, Washington D. This team won 55 straight games. It lso had gaet players that went to he pros. In , East Chicago Washington had a record and an Indiana state title. They both went for 39!!!
I was sitting courtside and I thought it was an NBA game. The level of play was amazing. This record has not been broken in California! These two teams should be tied for 1. What is the ranking criteria??? Obviously this is an impossible list to put together. Everybody is going to argue for a team near their home town or one they played on. Any list, no matter who created it, would fail to satisfy a significant number of people.
I have a couple general points. Many players in the NBA worked other jobs after the season. Second point is coaching. Coaching in HS is a huge difference maker. Teams that have great coaches in HS regularly beat teams with more talent. Yet I did not see many mentions of a coach being a big factor in why a team either is on this list or belongs on this list.
The best team I have ever seen in person is the 89 St. Outstanding talent but also the best hs coach I have ever seen. That made a huge difference in making that team even better than the level of its talent and its talent level was insane. I was very young though. And the Eagles repeated in Montverde Academy Fla.
