ScoreStream National 25 on January 27, 2015

The ScoreStream National 25 highlights the nations top high school basketball teams. By using our collected scores, media partners, and gathering input from sportswriters and experts we have put created our rankings honoring the top teams each week. Below are the rankings and a scoreboard to follow all of the action. To visit the team page and see their upcoming schedule, click on the team name.

This week brings an interesting twist to the rankings. Last weeks #8 Hamilton of Memphis, TN, who was previously undefeated, forfeited 15 of their 17 wins due to use of an ineligible player. While those are still on court wins and they deserve to be honored for them, it must be taken into account. One of those wins was against last week’s #4 Oak Hill Academy. With Oak Hill Academy now moving to 32-0 with major on court wins against ranked teams, we found it difficult not to move them to first place. If it were possible, Montverde Academy would be 1B! Right now they are definitely the front runners for the national title.

While Hamilton did forfeit those wins, their talent is impossible to deny. They remain in he ScoreStream National 25 for now!

Major upsets throughout high school basketball

Martin Luther King Day weekend brought a ton of high profile basketball tournaments (HoopHall, Bass Pro ToC, Flyin’ To The Hoop…) and major upsets as well!

The weekend started off with the previously unranked Linden Tigers from Linden, NJ taking down the then #2 Roselle Catholic 75-61. Roselle Catholic proceeded to lose consecutive games, while Linden swept there tough schedule proving they were a team destined for national attention.

Some teams like Montverde Academy remained steady, winning their tournament schedule this weekend. However, the wild basketball upsets were capped off yesterday with #1 Findlay Prep losing to unranked Wayne (game recap here!).

You can read the USA Today analysis on how Wayne was able to withstand the offense onslaught of Findlay Prep here.

From our friends at IndyStar, written by Gregg Doyel, ScoreStream wanted to highlight this beautiful story of Various. Various Wilson has been tried on and off the court, but has never given up. His story should be motivating and exciting for all athletes.

We tip our hats to you, Various. You are truly inspiring.

Dakota Young: A Story of Redemption

“For most teens, that accident might have been a surefire end to a proud career. Not for Young. After he underwent surgery in late September, Young was determined to return to action. He made that happen on December 20, coming off the bench for Fairfield in a loss to Johnson City and drilling a three-pointer from the wing in the final minute.”

This inspiring story is one you have to read and see. The ScoreStream staff is very moved by Dakota Young’s motivation and drive and we can’t wait to see where the rest of his career takes him.
