Before Grant High started its tournament last year, when was the last year that you could spend a portion of the Christmas holidays in a county gym watching a boys high school hoops tourney?
And what area high school was hosting the tournament?
And what other area teams, if any, participated?
The guess here is that it had to be at least 25 years since it happened.
Way too long ago. Anybody have the answer?
When I was a senior at Lake Zurich HS in '79, we played our Christmas games in Grayslake's old dungeon. In '79, Crystal Lake South played Crown for the title, and if my memory is correct, CL South won.I can remember other teams in the tournament being Round Lake, Grayslake, and Carmel. Probably a couple of others. I think the tournament disbanded shortly after.
