Three-Point Play: Locals Kick Off Spalding Hoophall Classic

SPRINGFIELD, MA — The history, the tradition, the talent -- it all lives here. The Spalding Hoophall Classic is as good as it gets, and nobody understands that more than the locals.

On Friday inside Springfield College’s Blake Arena, many of the boys who dreamed of playing in the event got to take center stage -- a special moment, indeed.

How special? Well, this might be the highlight of some players’ career so far.
