What makes you say Shabach Christian would be in the middle to lower end of the conference. I follow HS hoops and while I agree the WCAC is a very deep and talented conference, even the bottom tier teams can run with top teams from the MAC and the IAC, you are making a bold statement. DeMatha played Georgetown Pre in late January and lost by 18 - 20 points. |

Shabach Christian is borderline not a school.
I highly doubt it will even be around in 4 years, just another hybrid basketball factory that has sprung up. |

I thought I remember hearing they were like a homeschool or something kind of alternative too. |

Do the MAC and IAC coaches start recruiting elementary school players for middle school teams?
How does that work... do parents contact the coaches, do AAU coaches refer their players, and/or do the school coaches attend certain AAU tournaments, or all of the above? Do any of these schools hold recruiting events or summer camps? --parent of a 5th grade Virgina baller (AAU, travel) |

| I know of a 4th grader getting something like that, but this is very rare. |

Lots of word of mouth, coach to coach, some things are more on the up and up than others. Parents are always welcome to approach school (admissions) and/or coach. Camps/clinics definitely happen at some schools. My son was invited to a clinic as a rising 5th grader. Current 9th grader (who gravitated to a different first choice winter sport), so I can't remember where the invitation came from, other than it was directly to us (not his team or an open invite). It was a school already on our radar for MS so we made sure to attend for any admission boost. |

So far, it hasn't worked out for either team. Can we have a do-over? |

| SAES lost to Shabach by 17 in semis. Now it's #2 Shaback vs. #9 Mt. Zion Prep in the MD final. Congrats to Sidwell on beating Jackson-Reed in DC final 62-47! MAC teams went deeper in both post-season tournaments than their counterparts from IAC and WCAC. |

This info is out of date. He’s still cute, but he’s now assistant coach at Virginia Tech. Sad loss for the DMV. |

Lol. Different guy with the same name. |

Correct. New coach has same name, no relation. |

He was actually at Tech, before the Dematha coach even arrived. |

Sidwell won the DSCAA again, defeating Gonzaga and Jackson-Reed (Wilson) - who beat St Johns on the way to the finals.

What are you talking about? I’m talking about the CURRENT DeMatha coach. Not the one that left to go to Tech. |

Congrats to Sidwell. Feel bad for JR, they couldn’t land a 3-pointer to save their lives. They made only 1 all night. |
