Holmes should take care of Largo. Unless Largo got some transfers in, they lost their two best players from last year. Corbin gave them all they wanted up at Lexington Catholic.

They return two good players from last year's team in 6'4 Martin and 6'5 Thomas. Both are considered D1 prospects.

Do you think you can buy tickects there, or do you have to buy them ahead of time?

Wow..can't wait to watch!!

Tickets can be purchased at the gate.

You can buy a pass for the entire Hoopfest or pay per day at the door. The girls games are Thursday night and boys games are Friday & Saturday. I think there are 9 games on Saturday and I think 4 on Friday.
