We will be handing out 1st 2nd and 3rd Team All-American Awards

3:00 pm Girl's Tip-off /Ceremony at Baptist Bible College (Gym)

The Mayor of Springfield and virtually the entire Springfield news
media will be there as Tabar Spani leads the 2009 Omaha Regional
Champion Kansas City Metro Mavs against the San Antonio FEAST
Patriots. Tabar was just selected as a McDonald’s All-American, she
is the first HomeSchool player to ever receive this honor which is
awarded to the top 24 high school seniors each year.

4:30 pm Boy's Tip-off at Baptist Bible College (Gym)

John Caleb Sanders last year’s Maravich award winner will lead HCYA
Warriors; the two time defending National Champions against the
Cincinnati Landmark Eagles. In a very unusual twist this is a first
round match-up of last year’s National Championship game. Landmark
graduated all of their contributors and looked to have a rebuilding
year, but Coach Tom Head led the team to a 7th place Cincinnati
Regional finish and set up this compelling match up.

5:50 Game features the 2008 National Champions and 2009 OKC Regional
Champion THEASA Riders feature 2008 1st team All-American Anna Parish
as well as one of the top freshman High School players in the country.
Be ready to see some jaw dropping moves by Moriah Jefferson. As THESA
draws the Manhattan CHIEF in their first round match-up.

7:00 Game features the 2009 OKC Regional Champion when the Oklahoma City Storm takes on California’s Christian Heritage Academy. The Storm has spent the entire year in the top three of the MaxPreps rankings and returns four All-American from the 2008 3rd place finisher.

8:15 Game features the Cincinnati Regional Champions when INDIANAPOLIS WILDCATS make their first appearance at Nationals. Indy has been in the top 4 of the MaxPreps all season. All-American Adrian Hood will lead the Wildcats against sharp shooter Ben Mies and the Memphis FCA
Nighthawks.

9:30 Game features NCEBC #1 Seed Central Park Christian School from
Birmingham, Alabama. If you want to see some top level basketball,don’t miss this game. They have it all: They have size (if you consider 7 guys from 6 8’ to 7 foot big). Athleticism – last time I coached against them five years ago they had 14 dunks but I think that is overrated because Marco Killingworth had 8 of them. This year they feature 6’6 swingman and Alabama Signee Tony Mitchell and 6’10 wing/post Will Neighbour who has signed with the University of Arkansas/Little Rock. This year they are relatively young.
