1999 HOLIDAY TOURNAMENT INFORMATION

HIGH SCHOOL HOLIDAY BASKETBALL TOURNAMENT RESULTS

by Eddie Oliver

National Tournaments played havoc with the nation's top rated high school basketball teams, which should cause a major shakeup in the National Polls next week.  Almost all of the previously top rated teams, with the exception of now top rated Chicago (IL) Westinghouse, have at least one defeat after competing in holiday events. The HOOPSUSA Consensus Poll, which includes ratings from the Prep Poll, USA Today, and our own ratings, can be gotten via email on a weekly basis.   The cost is $25 per year.  To get more information or subscribe, call (H) 843-650-7222,  (W) 843-280-5605,  (FAX) 843-650-7222, or (EMAIL) ozone@sccoast.net.   Listed below are scores and top players from most of the major national tournaments.  If other tournament results are received, they will be added later. Basketball fans who know of other tournament results, can email the scores and player information to HOOPSUSA at ozone@sccoast.net or the HOOP SCOOP at clark@hoopscooponline.com.
