Starting on December 28, the Tigers competed in the Caprock Classic, the world’s largest high school basketball tournament. The tournament is hosted by Lubbock Caprock AMBUCS, a local non-profit. All funds raised from the tournament will go to people with disabilities. This year, 119 teams competed in the tournament, making it the largest in history.
At the classic, the Tigers finished in 2nd place after a sold-out crowd at the Tiger Pit against the Monterey Plainsmen. In the exciting championship game, the Tigers fell just three points short of victory. During the classic three Tigers made the Caprock All-Tournament Team. Congratulations to: Abbi Holder, Abby Boyce, and Addisyn Bollinger. Check out the Tournament results below.
