A local holiday basketball tournament staple has emerged this Christmas season with a famous name.
The first Ronald Curry Christmas Classic begins at 2 p.m. today, with games to follow at 4, 6 and 8 for three days.
The tournament features 16 boys teams, almost all from the Peninsula and Southside, competing at the Hampton University Convocation Center and Holland Hall. If the brackets hold true to form, the fireworks will culminate Friday when two of the best from the Peninsula and Southside — Bethel and Booker T. Washington — should meet in the final at 8 p.m. at the Convocation Center.
This event is an expanded version of the Bethel-Hampton Christmas Classic, which has been held in high school gyms. Ronald Curry’s entertainment company came on board this year to give the event a boost, as Curry has begun to do more events in the community in which he grew up.
