Inspired by a comment from longtime Etiwanda head coach Dave Kleckner, we have now finally finished going through the last 50 years of California boys basketball and have selected a Public School State Team of the Year for each season. Kleckner’s team this year would be one of them, but it’s not his only one. And despite the rise of Sierra Canyon and dominance for many years from schools like Mater Dei, there are a lot of public schools over the 50 years that were No. 1 for all schools public and private.
