NEW FOR 2008: 11 TH GRADE RISING TOURNAMENT Because of the changes implemented for this years state high school tournaments, the number of available weekends got compacted a little bit. As we looked at the existing tournament format (used in prior years), there just was not enough weekends to run both the 9th grade tournament and the 10th grade tournament (separate weekends) and complete them in March before spring sports starts. With that in mind, we decided to try a new tournament called the 11th grade rising tournament. It is a grade level tournament for high school basketball players who have eligibility left for the basketball season. It is designed for school teams but if there is enough interest we will run two divisions one for school and one for nonschool teams. The tournament will be played the weekend after the girls basketball finals at both Hoover and Dowling high schools the schools who are losing the 9th and 10th grade tournaments.
