For entertainment value and sheer competition at the high school level, there’s no beating Public League hoops. At that point the debate begins; it’s why they play the games, after all. The city championship remains a highly coveted title, even though it no longer produces an instant slot in the Elite Eight of the state tournament. Yet the Public League has turned that to its advantage, as this year two Chicago teams, Marshall and Simeon, met in the state final, with Marshall prevailing. Historically, though, Simeon has been the dominant dynasty in recent years, with Derrick Rose leading back-to-back state title teams the previous two seasons. Going back to Marcus Liberty and beyond, Simeon has been the Public League’s most consistent top contender. asimeonca.org. —Ted Cox
