| TOURNAMENT HISTORY |
52 Teams - 78 Games - 3 days
Since its inception in 1999, the Bank of the Carolinas JV
Basketball Holiday Classic has grown by leaps and bounds.
When the tournament began in 1999, only seven teams competed
at the Randolph-Asheboro YMCA. While the tournament was a
success, there was definitely room for growth. By the 2002-2004
seasons, the tournament was host to 16 teams. As word spread
about the tournament, more and more teams came in to
participate in this after-Christmas event.
By 2005, the tournament had grown to 32 teams and the event
took place at two locations: the Randolph-Asheboro YMCA and
Southwestern Randolph High School. 2006 was the largest
tournament yet, hosting 47 teams from 12 different counties. A
third location was then added: Southwestern Randolph Middle
School. This year, 52 teams from 14 different counties are
participating which has caused the tournament to expand to a
fourth location; Randleman High School. The Bank of the
Carolinas Holiday Classic has now become the largest JV
tournament in the southeastern United States. Due to the high
school limitation of being able to only play three games in a
week, the tournament is divided into a Red, Green, White, and
Yellow Division. Seven champions will be crowned over the
three-day tournament.
“The JV Tournament is a great experience for younger players,”
said Brian Nance, Asheboro High School’s varsity basketball
coach. “It gives them a chance to continue to compete during
the holidays. And with the addition of several outstanding teams
from around the state, the level of competition has increased
dramatically over the years.”
The success and growth of this event can be attributed to the
experience and dedication of the organizers. Nance stated that
the Bank of the Carolinas JV Basketball Holiday Classic is one
of the most organized holiday tournament events. “I have always
heard positive comments from visiting teams around our area,”
added Nance.
Schools are not charged an entry fee to participate in the
tournament. The tournament is solely dependant upon gate
receipts to cover expenses, as all net proceeds go to support
the YMCA Scholarship Fund. These funds enable the YMCA to
allow anyone to be a member regardless of their ability to pay.
David Cross, who served as the Chairman of the YMCA Board
from 1998 - 2008, also serves as tournament director.
Bank of the Carolinas serves as the tournament's Signature
Sponsor. Other generous sponsors include the following:
Gold Signature Sponsors: Paschal and Associates
Silver Sponsors: A A A Portable Toilets, Chick-Fil-A, Chili's
Grill and Bar, CommunityOne Bank, Insurance Associates of the
Triad, KG Computer Solutions, ROCK-OLA CAFE, and Sandhills
Office Systems
Bronze Sponsors: Randolph Bank and All Star Trophies and
