Basketball High
February 2022
Eight of North Carolina’s 20 best players in the class of 2022 — and seven from the class of 2023 — have left their traditional public and private schools to enroll in alternative institutions that make basketball the focus over education. They offer longer seasons, more travel and better competition. But there's a risk.
