Not to take away from the teams accomplishments but to ask some questions? Is this reverse discrimination? After seeing this picture, I pose the question are we segregating the schools in the Shiloh cluster. Don't we have any Asians, Hispanics or whites who play basketball? We do according to the last census numbers for the Shiloh district. If you were a black parent wouldn't you be disturbed to see all white coaches and players in this picture?

This is more of an FYI than an answer to your question: this isn't a school team, but a division of the Shiloh Athletic Association. So kids sign up for it. More info here: http://www.saa-youth.org/
