ALL-STAR SPORTS FINAL RANKING OF THE NATION'S TOP 100 SENIORS
CLASS OF 1983
Editor's Note: The HOOP
SCOOP has been publishing since the summer of 1983 and, as a result, we are able to
provide you with our rankings of the top players from each class since 1984.
However, that's as far back as we can go. So obviously we're pleased that Bob
Gibbons of All-Star Sports has given us permission to publish his list of the top
100 seniors from the Class of 1983, which means we can now provide you with a
tremendous source of reference that goes back a year further. And you can find these
rankings, which span a period of over 20 years, exclusively in the Members Section
of the HOOP SCOOP. You also can get all the past issues of All-Star Sports by writing All Star Sports Publications, P.O. Box 955, Lenior, NC, 28645 or clicking on All Star Sports.
