Basketball begins on Monday morning in Southern Arizona with the Boyd Baker Small School Invitational kicking things off with a 10 a.m. game featuring Tanque Verde at The Gregory School.
The Salpointe Boy’s Tipoff Classic starts later in the day. The Tipoff Classic is also taking place in Phoenix at Central High School at the same time.
The Girl’s Boyd Baker will start on Wednesday, Nov. 25 and the Buena Boy’s Safeway Classic will start on Friday, Nov. 27 under a round robin format. The Small School Boyd Baker Invitational will be taking place at both Immaculate Heart and The Gregory School.
