Here are some slices of the data:
• 10 players are from SoCal (think San Diego), 6 are from Central California (think greater LA) and 13 players are from NorCal
• 11 of the 16 tournament teams have players from California
• By position, there are 2G, 7D, 2 FO/M, 9M, 2A/M, and 7A
• 10 attended parochial schools, while 19 attended public schools
• By year, there are 4 Seniors, 6 Juniors, 8 Sophomores, and 11 Freshmen
• High Schools with more than one player in the Tournament are led by St. Ignatius with 6, Corona Del Mar with 4, San Ramon Valley with 3, La Costa Canyon with 2, and Bishop's School with 2
• 8 California players saw the field in more than half their team's games. They are indicated with a dot following their profiles. Three are from SoCal, three are from CenCal, and 2 hail from NorCal

Two High Schools, both from NorCal High Schools – San Ramon Valley and St Ignatius – each have multiple players on one team participating in the tourney. Penn State has a pair from San Ramon Valley and Duke has a pair of brothers from St. Ignatius
