The All-American Championship will once again feature 40 of the best high school boys basketball players in the country in a showcase event scheduled for Sunday, April 1, in New Orleans, La. Three New York players and one NY coach has been chosen.
"Last year's inaugural All-American Championship exceeded our expectations," says Gazelle Group president Rick Giles. "When you look at the players we have attracted, it makes you realize the depth of talent at the high school level. I am proud that we have been able to assemble such a talented group of young men and look forward to an exciting day of basketball.
