By Dave Rogers
The Baytown Sun Published December 26, 2009 MONT BELVIEU – Football bowl games are a nice diversion between Christmas and New Years.
But area high school basketball fans have one thing on their mind this time of year: The Gulf Coast Classic.
The annual holiday basketball tournament hosted by Barbers Hill High School is celebrating its 19th year Monday through Wednesday at three different locations on Eagle Drive.
A total of 12 boys and 14 girls teams will take part in the three-day event, with games set for both gyms at the high school and at the Field House.
Action begins on all three courts at 9 a.m. Monday and the final game, the championship of the boys bracket, is set for 7:30 p.m. Wednesday at the Field House.
Barbers Hill’s boys won the title last year, 58-50 over Cleveland, for their first win in the homecourt tourney since 2005.
The Barbers Hill girls reached the title game but fell, 44-37, to Hastings, which has won Classic championships the past two years.
Sterling won the boys consolation title, 70-48 over Spring Dekaney, while the Sterling girls reached the tourney semifinals.
