I saw Oak Hill Academy play years ago in Charlotte, NC. Their star was Jerry Stackhouse and they were going up against Charlotte Christian, whose star was Todd Fuller. (Fuller was a bust as a pro because he had no skills on D whatsoever, but I thought he actually had a little more offensive potential than anyone ever coaxed out of him) Charlotte was #1 in North Carolina at the time, were the defending state champs and reigning player of the year in the state (not Fuller, a little PG who was awesome). Oak Hill pounded them, ran them out of the gym, won by 25 at least, it was over before the 4th quarter started.
Watched them last night against the Chicago squad, Simeon. Oak Hill looked like one of those teams with so much confidence that they just never bothered to start playing. It's a shame, it's clear they have tons of talent and they're probably the best team in the country (again) but Simeon showed up and wanted it more and controlled the game. But Oak Hill's PG (blanking on the kid's name), man, that dude was killer. He was draining 3's long after the game looked to be over and kept it close all by himself. Oak Hill kids gave up in the 4th, I'd say.
