High school basketball: Columbus, Plano East, Myers Park and Don Bosco Prep headline The Throne participants

The field is set for The Throne, a high school basketball tournament scheduled for March 27-30 at the American Dream entertainment center in East Rutherford, N.J.

Thirteen of the 16 teams included in the field are ranked in this week's MaxPreps Top 25, including No. 1 Columbus (Miami, Fla.), No. 3 Plano East (Plano, Texas), No. 4 Myers Park (Charlotte, N.C.) and No. 5 Don Bosco Prep (Ramsey, N.J.).

Ridge View (Columbia, S.C.), who is currently just outside the MaxPreps Top 25, and Bishop O'Connell (Arlington, Va.), round-out the field along with a representative from the NY CHSAA/NY PSAL. Gold Level Sports & Entertainment and the National Basketball Players Association are continuing their partnership to bring The Throne back for its second consecutive season next month.
