ESPN networks coverage of the 2012-13 high school basketball season will include, for the fifth consecutive year, the National High School Invitational Tournament (NHSI). Action begins Thursday, April 4, at noon ET on ESPNU, with No. 3 seeded Prime Prep (Texas) facing No. 6 seeded Blanche Ely (Fla.) in the opening boys’ game. The event, organized by Paragon Marketing Group, will be held at Georgetown Preparatory School’s Hanley Center for Athletic Excellence in Bethesda, Md. and features 10 games with some of the country’s best boys and girls’ high school basketball teams.

For the first time, every boys’ team in the NHSI field is ranked in the ESPN 25 Power Rankings and five are in the top 10. The defending champions, Findlay Prep (Nev.) returns to try and clinch their fourth NHSI title after an undefeated regular season. In the girls tournament, Archbishop Spalding (Md.) is seeded No. 1 with 2011 NHSI Champion Dr. Phillips (Fla.) at No. 2. Each NHSI Boys Quarterfinal will air on ESPNU Thursday, with the Semifinals on ESPN2 Friday, April 5, followed by the final matchup on ESPN Saturday, April 6, at 1 p.m.
The NHSI caps off 24 games of the country’s best high school basketball teams playing on ESPN networks during the 2012-13 season.

The National High School Invitational launched in 2009 at Georgetown Prep in Bethesda, Md as the ESPN Rise NHSI. The 2009 boys tournament was won by Findlay Prep with the girls tournament won by Seton Keough. The second annual tournament was held at Coppin State University’s Physical Education Complex in Baltimore with Findlay Prep retaining the boys’ title and the Peddie School claiming the girls’ title. In 2011, Montrose Christian won the boys’ title in double overtime while Dr. Phillips won the girls’ championship. Last year, Findlay Prep recaptured the NHSI title with an overtime victory and Riverdale Baptist took the girls’ championship trophy.
