The 2016 schedule for High School Holiday Hoops has been announced with a total of 105 teams representing 58 Missouri and Iowa high schools ready to tip off in action. A total of 73 games are on the schedule with all games to be played at the Ketcham Community Center on the campus of North Central Missouri College in Trenton. Believed to be the largest high school holiday shoot-out in the state, teams are coming in from the St. Louis area, the Kansas City area, throughout north Missouri and even from the boot heel of Missouri and one team from Des Moines Iowa. Games begin on December 16th and conclude on December 31.
All games are a part of the participating high school’s regular season play and are not in a tournament format. Steve Maxey, Hoops Director says that coaches and school personnel appreciate the shoot-out format as schools do not have to wait and see who advances in a tournament to determine the next round of play.
Admission to games is $3.00 for students (elementary through college) and $5.00 for adults with senior citizens (65 and over) admitted for $3.00. This cost is for an entire day of basketball, most days offering a total of 8 games for this price. Ketcham Community passes will not be accepted nor will MSTA memberships. In addition, all seats are available for viewing the games including the “red seats” that are normally reserved for NCMC games are now available on a first come-first served basis.
All games are subject to change should weather become a factor and that should any games be cancelled, they will not be made up.
Scores will be posted each evening on the Holiday Hoops Facebook page with over two dozen radio stations and newspapers and television stations scheduled to be on the campus throughout the event for coverage. Several college scouts are also planning to attend looking for future college basketball players.
