The Reebok All American Weekend was created to celebrate the outstanding basketball accomplishments of graduating seniors from around the country as well as in the Maryland, Virginia and Washington, DC area.
Players were selected because of the accolades they earned this high school season but also for the character they have displayed off court. We are confident that this will be the finest double header basketball event in the country this post season PERIOD.
