Local Schools to Compete With Top National Talent, Including Girls No. 1-Ranked Collins Hill (Suwanee, Ga.) and the High-Scoring Boys Squad From Le Flore (Mobile, Ala.)
Seattle, Wash. — Dec. 21, 2006
T‑Mobile USA, Inc., and the National Federation of State High School Associations (NFHS) are bringing together in Seattle next week some of the best high-school basketball teams from across the county to participate in the T‑Mobile Invitational, the first-ever national tournament sponsored by the NFHS.
The T‑Mobile Invitational, set for Dec. 27–28 at the University of Washington’s Bank of America Arena, will showcase the talents of eight of the nation’s top high-school teams determined, in part, through USA Today’s Super 25 high-school basketball rankings. The tournament will pit the skills of four boys’ and four girls’ teams in a two-day invitational tournament, with each team playing two games. Each game will be broadcast live by the VERSUS television network.
This landmark event demonstrates the shared belief of T‑Mobile and the NFHS that interscholastic programs play a key role in enriching the lives of students. In addition to the two-day tournament, players on the eight teams, who serve as positive role models for youth in their own communities, will participate in a one-day community service project to rejuvenate a local Seattle after-school facility.
The field for the T‑Mobile Invitational consists of these teams:
