Team of the Year Standings

Points are calculated based on team statistical percentages on a ten (10) point scale. The ten point scale is used because there will be a total of ten (10) teams of the week. Team statistics will then be compiled to decide the 2009-2010 Team of the Year.

*Example: Chatsworth HS is averaging 67ppg and Carson HS 60ppg. Chatsworth receives 10 points in that category and Carson receives 9.
