It wouldn't be the holiday season without high-school basketball tournaments, and the annual Monticello Holiday Hoopla tips off today.
The 28th annual Holiday Hoopla Basketball Tournament begins today (Friday), and Monticello Schools Superintendent Adam Clapp says eight boys basketball teams and eight girls basketball teams will compete across the three days of the holiday hoopla, utilizing nearly all the gym space they have to offer.
The tournament is hosted by the Monticello Booster Club, and all the proceeds from the event go back to the Booster Club. Clapp says nearly every varsity program steps up with volunteers to make the event happen.
The Holiday Hoopla often serves as a great centerpiece for families and students who are in town for the holiday break to gather and reconnect.
The Holiday Hoopla Tournament takes place at Monticello High School, starting with games all day today and tomorrow (FRI & SAT) and wraps up with trophy games on Monday.
