Pool play done. Playoffs begin. Now, the real conversation starts all across Japan about who are considered the "it" teams in the Far East High School Basketball Tournaments.
And there's no shortage of opinions about who merits an elite spot in that conversation: Yokota, ASIJ, Seoul American and Kadena in Boys Class AA; Faith, Kadena and Seoul in Girls Class AA; and St. Paul and Morrison in both Class A tournaments are all getting shoutouts from coaches everywhere.
Read about it here and get Day 3 full-field results here.

Boys Championship match up
Barring any major upsets, it will be the SAHS-Yokota Final, and it ought to be pretty even match up. Here is their statics against common foes:
SAHS 80 JFK 27 (by 53) YHS 76 JFK 32 (by 44)
SAHS 60 CAJ 41 (by 19) YHS 55 CAJ 37 (by 18)
Would you say they are evenly matched? :)
