Key Matchups:


De La Salle vs. Fairfield
WHEN: Thursday, Dec. 8 | TIP-OFF: 6:30 PM

De La Salle was one game away from a championship season in March, losing to a star-studded Chino Hills team. This year, the Spartans are hungrier than ever to take back first place in their own tournament.

St. Patrick-St. Vincent vs. Regis Jesuit
WHEN: Thursday, Dec. 8 | TIP-OFF: 8 PM

If there wasn't top-notch competition waiting for Regis Jesuit in the Bay Area, head coach Ken Shaw wouldn't make the trip. Despite losing seven seniors from last year's tournament champion team, Regis Jesuit is looking to return this year with a strong cohort of juniors to defend its title. St. Patrick-St. Vincent opens its season with this game, while Regis Jesuit will enter with three games under its belt.

SEMIFINALS: Friday, Dec. 9, 6:30 PM, 8 PM
CHAMPIONSHIP: Saturday, Dec. 10, 5:30 PM
