Char Valley would be in top 5, but not No. 1. I'm not sure of order but I'd go USC, New Castle, Char Valley in top 5. Sewickley would probably be on cusp of top 5.

Kids with ridiculous volume shooting numbers might need to do so at smaller classification schools to be competitive,but how do you explain kids that shoot incessantly in four, five and six A programs? Many of Those kids at the top of the scoring list this year we’re low percentage shooters and played selfish basketball from the games. I’ve watched in person and online.

Yes, top scorers are many times from smaller classifications. But not all the time. Sounds like you have something against a certain player who scored a lot? Am I right?

Josh Pratt not making " Big56 all-section ???   Word is because  LP  coaches didn't use the Big56  " officials"  he didn't qualify ?   If that were true .... The Kid from Indiana ??? make it make sense ?

Imani Christian and Lincoln Park choose not to be part of BIg 56 - I think - so their players aren't eligible for their all-section teams. Kids from Indiana made all-section, though, so I don't know what you mean there. The "real" all-section teams come from the Post-Gazette. We've been doing them since at least early 80s. Coaches vote. No one is excluded. They will come out after the season.

From what I understand pretty much everyone at this point uses hudl to keep stats. I just think it would be a good idea to showcase kids who are high efficiency players as opposed to kids that just shoot until they reach a scoring number they are happy with.

Larger classifications use Hudl stats. But believe me, not everyone does. Obviously you are not happy with one player who scores a lot. Get over it. We're not ever going to run top field-goal percentages.

No idea. Two different entities, I guess.
