Boys’ High School Basketball holiday schedule: Here’s a look at who’s playing where over break

The week between Christmas and New Year’s Eve is a time for seeing family, bringing back those gifts that made you wonder “What where they thinking?” and for taking in some high school basketball at one of the many holiday tournaments.

Some keep it local, others bring in teams from out of state.

We’ve compiled from various online schedules a list of who’s playing who – and where – so you can plan your weekend, and beyond.
