GEICO HIGH SCHOOL NATIONALS TOURNAMENT HISTORY

The National High School Invitational (NHSI) launched in 2009 at Georgetown Prep in Bethesda, Md. The event was created by Paragon Marketing Group to provide a platform for the top, nationally ranked high school basketball teams to compete against one another in a season-ending tournament. In 2014, the event moved to New York City and was named the DICK’S Sporting Goods High School Nationals. In 2018, the event became the GEICO High School Basketball Nationals. The event was cancelled in 2020 at the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic; and in 2021 the event moved to Ft. Myers, FL.
