The feature games in the 2006 Champions Classic at Appalachian State University’s Holmes Center in Boone, NC, were Hargrave Military Academy besting Patterson School Prep 107-101 in a virtual war, and one of the best games I have seen this year; and No. 1 rated Oak Hill Academy adding two more victories to their 40-0 season, and winning their third championship in the three-year history of this event.

February in the Northeast is no laughing matter when it comes to the weather. Friday night at the PrimeTime Shootout in Trenton, NJ came off without a hitch, and Saturday, the games played on as a blizzard raged outside. On Sunday, logic prevailed and the games were cancelled with over a foot of snow blanketing the area. However, the games that went in the book at the 2006 PrimeTime Shootout were well worth braving the heavy snowfall.
