Led by two McDonald's All-Americans, in OJ Mayo and Patrick Patterson, the Highlanders ran rough-shot over every opponent they played in the Mountain State, winning the state championship by 42 points.

For a brief time, they were ranked as the number one team in the nation, and lost just two games that year.

Patterson went on to a stellar career at the University of Kentucky, while Mayo played one year in college and went straight to the NBA. He was picked by the Minnesota Timberwolves.

"Now, I get the opportunity to play in the NBA and represent Huntington, West Virginia, on another national stage. I'm just so happy," said Mayo.
