Staten and Oak Hill at Flyin’ to the Hoop?
Could Oak Hill Academy and Juwan Staten play in next year’s Flyin’ to the Hoop?
It’s a long shot, but …
The 2010 three-day Flyin’ hoopfest at Fairmont’s Trent Arena is scheduled for Jan. 16-18. Tourney director Eric Horstman reports that Oak Hill has a scheduled game that Saturday. He’s trying to lure Oak Hill into playing in Monday’s showcase game.
Already signed up for the next Flyin’ to the Hoop are Findlay (Nev.) Prep and Montverde (Fla.) Academy. Findlay handed Oak Hill its only loss in a nationally televised game on ESPN this past season to clinch the mythical high school national championship. Findlay and Oak Hill are likely to be ranked 1-2 in the upcoming preseason.
Montverde was a national top-5 team.
There are no matchups yet.
“It’s always good to match (national powers) against an Ohio team to give them a change of pace,” said Horstman, “but it would have to be a very talented Ohio team to be a good game.”
There’s history with Oak Hill and Flyin’ to the Hoop. In the 2007 event, Oak Hill defeated Trotwood-Madison 81-74 at Vandalia.
Area teams committed to the 2010 Flyin’ field are:
• Alter;
• Centerville;
• Chaminade Julienne;
• Dunbar;
• Fairmont;
• Marshall;
• Trotwood-Madison;
• Wayne;
• and Wilmington.
Other committed teams are:
• Cin. Aiken;
• Cleveland Benedictine;
• Centennial (Ga.) Roswell;
• Cleveland Heights;
• Findlay (Nev.) Prep;
• Flora Macdonald (N.C.) Academy;
• Garfield Heights;
• Lakota East;
• Marion Franklin;
• Miller Grove (Ga.);
• Montverde (Fla.) Academy;
• Princeton;
• Cin. Roger Bacon;
• West Jessamine (Ky.);
• Westerville North;
• Winton Woods.

I love the interscholastic games in this event, but am quickly tiring of these travelling academies. the games appear close to “exhibitions” with lackluster effort and nonchalance.

Last year Wayne almost upset the #1 team in the nation. The games are almost always competitive and it’s great basketabll and atmosphere.
