1000 Yard Guy's 2013/2014 Boys All-State Basketball Teams

This will be the 5th year I've published a class by class Boys All-State basketball teams. Things should be getting easier after 5 years but it seems each new season presents new challenges. The one thing I do know is that choosing these teams is a task, but certainly has been pure pleasure from the beginning.

This football guy may not be the smartest hoops expert on the block, but here is the way I see this project. The more you promote these young athletes and high school sports in general for that matter , the better it is.

I don't know about you, but there is no doubt in my mind....High School Sports is the Best game in Town.
