PRINCETON, N.J. (AP) — A high school basketball tournament will take place annually during the men’s Final Four.

The inaugural All-American Championship will be held in suburban Houston, the site of this year’s Final Four, on April 1 and 3. Four teams of players will represent each region of the country. This year’s invitational tournament will be in Aldine, Texas.

A national panel of experts will select the players. The teams will be led by prominent high school coaches and assisted by coaches from the Final Four city. Cultural and educational events will be part of the tournament.

Plans were announced Monday by the sports promoter Gazelle Group.
