Brainerd High School

State runner-up the year before, and second again at the Hoop Fest in Alaska on the way here. Harris Walker, a 6-1 senior guard scoring 25 a game and bound for Clemson or Georgia, and 5-10 point guard Jermaine Washington (18) made one of the best backcourts in the South, on one of the quickest teams in the field. Robert High had won three state titles and 552 games. 9-2 coming in.
