Philadelphia High School Basketball
Top All-City Players by "Power Points"
(1972-2022, no additions for 2022)
Return to TedSilary.com Home Page
Like myself and others going back to the
early '70s, Aaron "Ace" Carter decided to list his All-City
selections -- 2014 to 2019 -- in what he saw as the proper order. So did
Norm Eavenson (RIP), owner/operator of the Middle Atlantic Scouting Service, who
picked the team in 2020. As did Randy Miller Jr., owner/operator of The Miller
Report, our 2021 and 2022 contributor. With that in
mind, here is a list that shows which guys have accumulated the most All-City
"power points" from 1974 through 2020. In most years, the three teams have
included 16 players. So, the Player of the Year earns 16 points, the runnerup 15
and so on. Co-Players of the Year split 31 points (or 29, in years when only 15
players are honored). The top spot, and oldheads won't be surprised, belongs to
'77 West Philly grad Gene Banks with 46 points.
