| Last week, Rosemont Academy and seven other highly-ranked basketball teams
from around the country played in the prestigious Great Hoops Basketball
Tournament. The teams winning each of the four quarterfinal games were
paired in the semifinals, with the two semifinal victors then playing for
the championship. Given the results below, can you find each team's nickname
(the Eagles is one) and head coach and who defeated whom in each quarterfinal
