One of the premier high school basketball tournaments in the country tips off on Thursday afternoon.
A massive group of the nation’s most talented programs — both prep schools and regular high schools — will converge in Springfield, MA throughout the week for a five-day slate of hoops. Schools from all over the country, including one from the Bluegrass State, are scheduled to hit the hardwood at Springfield College over the next few days for the 2023 Hoophall Classic. Several of the top-ranked teams headline the event, led by powerhouse schools such as Montverde (FL) Academy, Prolific (CA) Prep, Sunrise Christian (KS) Academy, and AZ Compass (AZ) Prep — all ranked among the top 10 in the country, per MaxPreps — among many others.
