BBC Set to Tip-Off Monday

Who will capture the 36th Beach Ball Classic Championship trophy?  Beginning on Monday, December 26th, 16 teams will begin a 5-day battle to see who will add their name to the “Who’s Who” list that call themselves Beach Ball Classic Champions!

The answer to this question will start to be answered at 3:30 p.m. Monday when Jonesboro (GA) and Westchester (CA) tip off in game one.  Game two features McQuaid Jesuit (NY), coached by former BBC and Coastal Carolina University standout Jack Leasure, and Pace (GA).  Providence (FL) and Evanston (IL) will tip off in game three at 7 p.m. while Scott County (KY) and Myrtle Beach (SC) wrap the action on day one around 8:45 p.m.

15 teams in the Beach Ball Classic will be gunning for two-time Beach Ball Champion Bishop-Gorman (NV).  The Gaels will be looking to tie DeMatha (MD) for the second most BBC titles at three and move within one championship of Archbishop-Malloy’s (NY) four titles.  Below is a list of the previous 35 BBC Champions:
