When USA Today's No. 1 high school basketball team in the nation gets quality play inside and out, it is pretty hard to beat. Just ask Newark Memorial. With 6-foot-7 Michael Gilchrist accounting for 25 points and 16 rebounds to balance division MVP Kyrie Irving's 20 points, St. Patrick of Elizabeth, N.J., pulled away in the second quarter to an impressive 66-43 victory last night to claim the title of the top-tier National Division in the MaxPreps Holiday Classic at Torrey Pines High.
