Xcellent 25 state tournament scoreboard

High school basketball fans desiring to see a nationally-ranked team Wednesday night in state tournament action had plenty of opportunities.

Twelve teams ranked in this week's Xcellent 25 presented by the Army National Guard were in win-or-go-home situations, but each prevailed in dominant fashion.

In fact, "dominant" might be an understatement, if that's possible. Led by No. 2 St. Anthony's (Jersey City, N.J.) 65-point win over Morris Catholic (Denville) and No. 17 Simeon's (Chicago, Ill.) 56-point win over Urban Prep-Englewood (Chicago), the 12 ranked teams in action won by an average margin of over 31 points per game Wednesday.
