Sixty-eight has turned into four. The Final Four.

The players who will do battle Saturday at the Georgia Dome aren't too far out of high school, and that means that we have plenty of shots from MaxPreps professional photographers from those players' prep days.

Come with us on a slideshow journey as we reveal photos of players in this year's Final Four, ones who represent Louisville, Wichita State, Michigan and Syracuse.
