Roy also led Flint Beecher to back to back titles in the Class B division and was the runner up to Glen for the Mr. Basketball award. I have no idea why Glen wasn't named to the McDonald's team. Much love Flint homies and RIP Roy 🙏🏽 🏀❤️

    What's considered the dividing point between East and West? Is it based on their high school location or choice of college?

    • @MQ_eleven
      @MQ_eleven  22 дні тому

      was based on high school location.... example, Pooh Richardson from Pennsylvania went to UCLA and played on the East squad.... also, Quin Snyder from the state of Washington went to Duke and played on the West team. Not alot of players from that class went to west coast schools anyway. After Wooden's UCLA run in the 70s, eastern U.S. owned college hoops

      @@MQ_eleven Okay, based on some of the locations, it seems that the East North Central states (Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Ohio, Wisconsin) and the East South Central states (Alabama, Kentucky, Mississippi, Tennessee) are considered part of the West for this series. Personally, I consider those regions to be part of the East as it's easier, IMHO, to use the Mississippi River as a dividing line.
