Santa Barbara Holiday Classic
Starts Wednesday--(Dec. 25, 2000)

	What:	Santa Barbara HS Holiday Classic Tournament
	Where:	Santa Barbara High School
	When	December 27-30, 2000
	Who:	16 Top California Teams

We ran into Santa Barbara Coach Jeff Lavender at last weeks' Rim Rattler Holiday Hoops Invitational in Long Beach, and even though we'd written a short blurb about the Santa Barbara Holiday Classic Tournament back when we wrote our team preview of Santa Barbara HS, we really weren't very clear about who was going to be there and who wasn't. . . but Coach Lavender solved our problems when he handed us a copy of the bracket, which we quickly stuffed into our bag, and then promptly forgot about it. . . until today that is.

This tournament will feature several top teams in Souther California, including a few who will contend for a division championship in their respective divisions.  Here's who will be there:  Santa Barbara, Campolindo, Point Loma, Cabrillo (Lompoc), San Marcos, West Torrance, Lompoc, Santa Monica, Pasadena, Desert Mountain, Oxnard, Dos Pueblos, Troy,  Bishop Diego, and San Diego Lincoln.   We've already written quite a bit about many of these teams this season, so we won't go on about them, except to say that you'll be able to see some excellent players on virtually every team. . . guys like Dommanic Ingerson and Trey Putnam (Santa Barbara), Dino Wilburn, Dwan Rice McKenzie Clar and Johny Eubanks (Pasadena), Nick Curtis and Lee Abair (Oxnard),  Steve Graybill (Dos Pueblos),  Shaun Davis (Lincoln Prep), etc, etc. . .

Here's the schedule. . . just keep in mind that the bracket game positions for the first round don't match the times. . .in other words, game #1 isn't the first game of the day. . .:

And if you need a visual aid, here's what the bracket looks like:
