  The Reebok high school championship tournaments wrapped up today with all division titles being decided. The most prestigious division is the Open Pool tournament as it allows the best of the best to play on a unrestricted team. In other words, regardless of what school a player is from he can play with whatever team he chooses. These teams are usually the cream of the crop as a certain level of recruiting goes into making each team. The Open Pool title went to Team Detroit who beat D-One of North Carolina 56-48. The other levels all had their championship tournaments played out as well.
