#66 Boys High School Basketball City Tournament

Held very January, The Boys Basketball City Tournament features Springfield High School, Southeast High School, Lanphier High School and Sacred Heart- Griffin. It takes place in The Prarie Capital Convention Center downtown.

This is a 3 night tournament and each night 2 games are played. This is a great way to not only see up and coming players but to see the school spirit from the students. If you are from Springfield, it's fun to watch as an alum. If you're not from Springfield it's a great spectacle within its self.

The cost is usually low. Usually it ranges anywhere from 5-7 dollars. Also, help out your old school and bring some can goods to help with the Spirit of Giving Award.

The tournament is now somewhere in its 60's and is a Springfield tradition.

TIP: Park somewhere downtown early, have dinner and walk to the PCCC. There will more than likely be little parking.
