war on the floor revised

Just when we thought we had the complete list of teams, a few, like Westlake HS and Antelope Valley Christian HS dropped out, and have been replaced by LA Poly HS and LA Cleveland HS. So Bort Escoto sent us the revised schedule and brackets. They are below.

Once again, a reminder: The War On The Floor will feature at least 8 "seeded" teams, one in each of the 8 pools, as well as several other teams with top players. Bort Escoto, Sylmar's head coach and the driving force (along with Dennis Magro who helps administer the event) has brought a pretty deep talent pool to the War on the Floor, maybe not the deepest that we've ever seen, but this one will attract a lot of top players you won't want to miss. Among the top teams featuring top players will be Fairfax with perhaps the top junior in this year's rising seniors, Evan Burns (6'-7" Jr. F), Inglewood with DeAngelo Collins (6'-9" Jr. F) who is telling everyone that he'll bypass college and go straight to the NBA, Taft with super-soph Steve Smith (6'-2" So. G), Chatsworth with a player who could just wind up being the top player in the City Section, Franklin Robinson (6'-4" Jr. G), and a ton of other top players.

Here are the pools and the game schedules for the first three days of play, from Saturday, June 23 through Sunday June 24. Bracket play will start on Monday (no, we don't have the brackets yet) and will continue through Tuesday.
