December 26th, 2016

The Pontiac Holiday Tournament is the nation’s oldest such Christmastime classic, dating as it does way back to 1926. Seen here are University High School’s Jim Barnes (#12) and Ted Smith (#8) tied up with two Lyons Township (La Grange, IL) High School cagers. Lyons beat U-High 52-48, and then went on to become tourney champion. Chenoa High School finished second.
