Nine Californians make McDonald's All-American Game teams

Five boys — three from Prolific Prep — and four girls selected to play in the two games that take place April 2 events held in Houston

Nine California-based players made the two McDonald's All American Game contests, but many people were talking about the one big commission. 

Mercy Miller, a 6-foot-5 guard from Notre Dame/Sherman Oaks, was left off the boys squad despite him carrying the undefeated squad with averages of 30.5 points, 10 rebounds and 4.5 assists per game. He had 68 points in a game this season for the 23-0 Knights.
