Vikings To Host Holiday Hoops
AKRON – The pairings are set for the Tipppecanoe Valley boys basketball holiday tournament slated for Dec. 21-22.
The opener for the two-day event on Dec. 21 at 6 p.m. pits Rochester (0-2) versus NorthWood (1-0). The host Vikings (2-1) then face Fairfield (1-1) in the other first-round contest.
The consolation game will be played Dec. 22 starting at 6 p.m. with the championship contest to follow.
Basketball fans may get the chance to witness a milestone moment during the tourney for Valley coach Bill Patrick. The veteran coach, now in his 44th season overall and 15th at Valley, currently has 695 career wins. The Vikings are scheduled to play four more games before the tournament, meaning Patrick could win his 700th game during the event.
Tickets for the tourney will be sold starting Wednesday at TVHS.
