This weekend, quite a few NYCHoops.net ranked and bubble New York teams are gearing up for in-state and out-of-state tournaments. Here's a listing of the ones we're keeping an eye on.
OUT-OF-STATE
Christ the King HS has traveled to South Carolina to participate in the Chick-Fil-A Classic. The Royals, who are ranked #1 (NYC) by NYCHoops.net will start out playing Blanche Ely (FL) on Thursday evening. This will be CK first test against out-of-state schools.
South Shore is currently in Kentucky playing in the King of Blue Grass tournament. In their last endeavor against out-of-state teams, the Vikings came up short. This evening's game against local talent PRP will hopefully be the road towards redemption. South Shore is currently ranked #3.
