december calendar of tournaments

We started to get "tournament overload" just trying to keep track of all the high school tournaments we've written about over the last few months, and decided to try to lend some semblance of order to the mess. So we came up with the following grid, and hope that it will be useful.

Actually this is more than just December, it starts next Monday, November 23, with the Manual Arts "We Care Classic" (which you should all support with a donation even if you can't go to any of the games--all proceeds go to feed the homeless during Thanksgiving). We've culled together a calendar to supplement our regular "Tournament" listings for next month. We've taken all of the tournaments we've written about or mentioned in any of our high school previews, and listed them in this handy little grid. By no means is this all of the tournaments in SoCal; it just scratches the surface, and there are a good many that we know we've left out.

If you're looking for a particular school or tournament, then we'd suggest you use the "edit" "find" command on your browser and let it scoll the page for you until you find what you're looking for. And by all means, if you are a high school coach and know about a tournament that we don't have listed here, or the listings for the tournament participants are incomplete and you can help fill them in, please e-mail us and let us know.
