Yes but now we have a corporate sponsor so it won’t be losing money.

Is this pre-Xmas or post-Xmas?

Is it the same round robin format of all the past BCHS Tourneys?

I know First National Bank stepped up to sponsor some in the early years, at least I think they did. Glad to see it return... and with an even playing field.

Kind of hard to tell when they use the word "Holiday" instead of "Christmas' hu'h?

 

I'm in a smary-alecky mood. I am not one of those people that get really uspet over "Happy Holidays" or "Season's Greetings"

In its last few years this tournament had many interesting things happen that isn't what you would call the norm

 

A Louisville team(Iroqouis maybe) took its team home one year after a couple of games because was unhappy with the officiating

 

Anderson County was declared the tournament winner one year when pipes froze in school and gym and tournament couldn't be continued, also was issues with their fans and players if I remember right in a couple of games

 

Brian Kirk's Burgin team was suspended and or disiplined by him for issues at the hotel they were staying in Maysville. He played the tournament with freshman and 8th graders

 

Coach Roderick Rhodes team got lost coming to the gym and delayed the tournament starting

 

These are only the things i can think of off hand

All true...however if you consider that you are entering a gym known as "The Igloo" with a Polar Bear for a mascot (and no disrespect at all intended), then we should expect a certain uniqueness in the tournament history.

 

Looks like a well matched line up and should be fun.

The tourney is post-Christmas.

Pre-New Year or post New Year? Just asking because last i checked there was nary a sign of this tournament on the BC KHSAA basketball schedule website.

December 27, 28 and 29. We're playing in the tourney that's the only reason I know.

BC has a game scheduled with Calvary C on the 27th, so that must be start of the tournament, thought it was just a regular season game.

That is correct.
