Tourney Announcement: 26th Annual
Hart Holiday Classic--(December 8,1997)

Here's one that we obviously overlooked, and which we're certain will be a great tournament: The 26th Annual Hart Holiday Classic.

Hart High School is hosting this 26th Annual Holiday Classic from December 26-30, 1997 at, where else, Hart High School, located in Santa Clarita. William S. Hart competes in regular season play in the Foothill League of the Southern Section and is rumored (we haven't seen them, so they're still "rumored") to be one of the top teams in the league this year.

Quite a few (actually 16) teams have been invited and will play, including some familiar teams from SoCal, and a couple of teams from out of the area, including West Bakersfield, Sanger (from near Fresno) and a team from Chehalis, in Washington State. Here's a complete list of teams, and a partial list of players:

Bell-Jeff (Ruben Douglas, Mike West, Chris Jones, Peter Swing, Lou Casino, Chris Ageuia)
Beverly Hills
Canyon (Jerreme Suarez, Mike Reardon, Justin Orefice, Jimmy Cox, Everett Bryson, Alex Estevez)
Cleveland (Kent Dennis, B. Smith, S. Smith, Randolph)
