From ESPN.com article:
Sagemont (17-6) is thin, featuring three Division I players. At 7-0, Fab Melo (10.1 rebounds) is a shoo-in for the 2010 McDonald's All-American Game and signed with Syracuse. Indiana-bound forward Will Sheehey (18.4 points) is the team's top scorer. Junior wing Rod Days is a promising prospect, while point guard Vinny DeLucia averages nearly six assists.Montverde is teeming with talent. Guard James Bell (Villanova), 7-0 Ugo Okam (Harvard), 6-9 Papa Samba Ndao (Boston College), 5-9 Caleb Clyburn (Central Connecticut State) and 6-5 Jamail Jones (Marquette) are headed to Division I schools. The emergence of their sixth man, 6-7 Haukur Palsson from Iceland, pushed the Eagles to new heights.
Coach Adam Ross welcomes the challenge but has already played eight national powerhouses heading into the Class 2A, District 14 semifinals.
"Montverde is one of the deepest teams in the country; they bring mid- to high Division I players off the bench," he said. "We have to play an errorless game. I wish we could play more teams like Montverde, because they are what we aspire to be."
