D.J. RichardsonLegacy: In just its third season of existence, the 08-09 Findlay Prep squad established the Pilots as a bona fide national power and one that wasn't going away. Three standouts – Thompson, Joseph and Bradley – are already in the NBA.
Bishop Gorman (Las Vegas),
Montrose Christian (Rockville, Md.),
Montverde Academy (Fla.),
Orlando Christian Prep (Fla.) and now-defunct Rice (New York) were among the victims of the Nevada juggernaut, which won by an average of 30 points per game that winter. Peck's squad beat Oak Hill Academy in the final of the National High School Invitational in the only meeting to date between the nationally-recognized programs.
