LAKELAND, Fla.– After helping lead Sagemont to a perfect 33-0 season and a Class 3A FHSAA State Championship, UConn-bound junior guard Prince Ali said that he would love to head back home to play in front of his hometown crowd at the National High School Invitational, which culminates in a final at Madison Square Garden on April 5.

“It would mean a lot,” Ali, who grew up in the Bronx, told SNY.tv. “Really it would. I heard it was in the Garden, I really hope that we get invited this year.”
