In a few weeks you can go to www.usatoday.com  and then click on scores  On top of that page is a section for high school sports all over the country.  HOWEVER now the site has only football.  Basketball will be added after state football playoffs end.  Each state high school association also has a website and many of the states post their school's schedules also

I play basketball all the time. I played 3 years for my HS team, but that was 5 years ago. I do it mostly to stay in shape and, because unlike other sports like baseball or football, I can play by myself. I can shoot for hours and get away from the real world. To be able to shoot in peace or play with friends is a big drawing point for me to the game of basketball.

i play basketball as well. i'm a junior in highschool and i use to play in California, but i moved to Tennessee and they were in much more shape than i was because we didn't condition that much in Cali., i ran on my own and practiced for 2 hours on the weekends, but i lost the habit and there was nothing i could do except for push myself at practice to be in the condition that i should be in. we started off running 2-3 miles everyday nonstop, running bleachers 30 min., running stairs 20 min, and sprinting 50 sprints baseline to baseline. just push yourself and you'll get there, what ever you do, don't quit. quitting is too easy. if you just push yourself, you'll be suprised as to how fast you get in shape.

my girlfriend has played ball almost all of her life. she said that the biggest thing you should work on is running. you run springts like crazy. and you are timed. most coaches give 10-20 seconds to run full court twice. even if you suck at shooting or anything else, if your fast, coach will at least use you to get the ball down the court. after that comes shooting and layups. you dont have to have perfect handling on the ball because they will prolly keep whateva pt guard they have. just make sure you are a good runner, and can shoot jump shots and layups

basketball, game played generally indoors by two opposing teams of five players each. Basketball was conceived in 1891 by Dr. James Naismith, a physical education instructor at the YMCA college in Springfield, Mass., as a way to condition outdoor athletes during the winter months. His original list of 13 rules has undergone a century of revision, leading to faster pacing and greater athleticism. Today basketball is one of the most popular American sports and one the rest of the world has adopted.\nBasic Rules\n\nAt each end of the court—usually about 92 ft (28 m) long and 50 ft (15 m) wide—is a bottomless basket made of white cord net and suspended from a metal ring, 18 in. (46 cm) in diameter, which is attached 10 ft (3.05 m) above the floor (usually hardwood) to a backboard made of fiberglass, wood, or other material. Players may throw, dribble (bounce), or shoot the basketball (an inflated ball usually made of leather or rubber) but may not run with it or kick it.\n\nTeams try to advance the ball and shoot it through one basket (the ball must enter from above) and to keep the opposition from scoring through the other. Each field goal, or basket, scores two points, or three points if shot from beyond a specified distance (21 ft/6 m in U.S. colleges, slightly longer in international and professional play). Teams must shoot the ball within a prescribed time limit (24 sec in the National Basketball Association; 30 sec in international games and in most women's play; 45 sec in men's collegiate play).\n\nAny player making illegal body contact with an opposing player is assessed a foul; the opposing team may be given possession of the ball, or an opposing player awarded free throws at the basket from the foul line. Each made foul shot is worth one point. Players who exceed the foul limit (usually five, but six in the NBA) are disqualified from the game. International and collegiate basketball games have two 20-min halves, professionals play four 12-min quarters, and high schoolers play four 8-min quarters.

first off  it's the 1500 in college or the mile.  figure out the world record, add about 20 seconds.  if you are closer, make sure your times are posted in a local newspaper.  send clippings and have your high school coach talk to the colleges for you.

Well a quarter is 12 minutes and there are 4 quarters so 12x4=48. Plus 3 minutes break arfter each quarter so 12 a whole game. As well as Half Time break is 20 minutes so so far.\n\n1 hour 20 minutes (80 minutes) PLUS time-outs so lets say there are 5 minutes time-outs so 1 hour 25 minutes (85 minutes) there are 2 overtimes and they are 5 minutes each so 1 hour 35 minutes (95 minutes).\n\nAnd you have 10 seconds to take the free throws. So on average 1 hour 40 minutes (100 minutes) Confusing but it is true.

Basketball is played by two teams of five players each on a rectangular court, generally 50 by 94 feet for college and professional teams, 50 by 84 feet for high school players. (These dimensions are called "ideal" in the rules; they are not definitely prescribed, and high school teams often have smaller courts.) The court is divided into halves by the halfcourt line.\n\nAt the center of a court is the center jump circle, and at either end of the court, 4 feet from the end line, there is a basket, a rim 18 in in diameter and 10 feet above the floor, from which hangs a net of white cord 15 to 18 in long. Behind each basket is a backboard. For college and professional play, it is a glass rectangle 72 in wide by 48 in high; high schools may use a fan-shaped backboard 54 in wide. Beneath each basket a 12-foot lane (16 feet in professional play) is marked, ending at the free throw line, which is 15 feet from the basket. The free throw circle is inscribed around the line.\n\nThe 3-point line is an arc 19 feet, 9 inches from the basket in college basketball, 20 feet, 6 inches under international rules. In the NBA, the line is 23 feet, 9 inches from the basket for most of its length but only 22 feet away in the corners.\n\nThe basketball is spherical, 29 ½ to 30 inches in circumference and 20 to 22 ounces in weight. When dropped from a height of 6 feet a properly inflated ball will bounce to a height of 49-54 inches.
