Which leads us to our most recent Poll Question. "Who do you think is the top team over the past decade." Is it the 2004 State Champion South Gwinnett team led by Louis Williams? Or the following year's 2005 Wheeler squad which was the definition of "team chemistry" and dethroned South Gwinnett on the way to the Title? Maybe it is Dwight Howard's 2004 Southwest Atlanta Christian team which also had featured fellow NBA player Javaris Crittenton? Or the powerhouse 2007 Norcross team which featured Gani Lawal and Al-Farouq Aminu? Or maybe you feel it is one of the other tremendous state championship squads over the past 10 years?
Poll Results:
According to our readers, the top high school team of the past decade was the 2005 Wheeler squad which earned 21% of all votes. A very close second place was the 2004 Southwest Atlanta Christian team featuring Dwight Howard (20% of votes). We had a tie for third place between the 2007 Norcross squad and the 2004 South Gwinnett State Champs (each with 13% of the votes).

The 2005 game with Wheeler beating South Gwinnett was the best high school game I ever seen. It was played at Ga Tech and the place was standing room only and rocking the rafters. That Wheeler team was a great one.
I got to go with the 04 SACA squad since no one could check Dwight Howard. The Wheeler team in 2005 was pretty sick tho too.
Great question!
I'll take the 2007 Norcross team. Too much size. Very poised team. Everyone knew their role. Very impressive bunch.
Seems like alot of people voting for "other" teams. Assuming this is people from South GA. In my opinion, I don't think ball in the south can hold a candle to the Atlanta basketball, who are some of these South teams you feel were best?
Basketball in South Georgia is weak. The top teams down there wouldn't even be top 2 or 3 teams in the Atlanta area - northern regions.
