With a winter chill in the air, it must be time for some hoops. And the annual HP Scot Classic tournament will showcase plenty of quality high school basketball action this week.
The event begins on Thursday and concludes with championship games on Saturday afternoon. The boys field includes eight teams in a pool-play format, while the girls bracket includes 12 teams.
The action will be spread between two gyms at Highland Park High School, as well as the main gym at Highland Park Middle School.
Both HP teams will get the action underway on Thursday, when the boys face Dallas Thunder at 3 p.m. followed by the girls against W.T. White at 4:30 p.m. Each team will play a minimum of three games total.
The Scots (1-0) started the season with a 94-82 win over HSAA on Monday, while the Lady Scots (1-2) enter the tournament with a win over Rockwall-Heath sandwiched between lopsided losses to Prosper and Bishop Lynch.
