2001 High School National Championship Tournament

Detroit Catholic Central High School (Redford, MI) defeated Detroit Country Day School (Beverly Hills, MI) 410-245 in the final to win its second NAQT High School National Championship in three years. Catholic Central had entered the final series with a one-game advantage, but Detroit Country Day overcame an early 120-point deficit to win the first game 390-340, forcing the final championship game. Defending champion State College Area High School A (PA) finished third, losing a playoff to Detroit Country Day for the right to compete in the final. Riverdale High School (Murfreesboro, TN) finished fourth.

In all, 40 teams participated in the National Championship, held June 9-10, 2001, on the campus of the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor, MI.
