HEADUP I can't speak about PA or OH but the overall best teams in NJ are not academies. The best team in the state is Paulsboro HS that has appx 500 students and that is shooting high. Blair and Don Bosco are top schools but they are in the true minority. The public schools, and a few catholic schools, rule the state. Of couse there can be a random year where I can be proven wrong. I don't know who may have said it but I do believe that a state champ from NJ or OH gets a sharper look from colleges than the likes of KS. If not for anyhing than for the road travelled to win it. I don't want to go through the entire process again but there are 3 tournaments over 3 weeks that determine a state champ...districts/regionals/states. I believe the strength of these states is the depth of the districts and regions throughout the states.
