Coliseum Announces Lineup for 21st Hoopsfest

Tuesday, the Mississippi Coast Coliseum revealed the team matchups for its 21st annual Hoopsfest basketball competition.

The all-day event will be held on January 10th in the Coliseum and will feature top ranked high school teams from across the region. Tickets will be sold for $7 each prior to the event and $10 the day of the event. Coliseum officials say the event has been a success every year and they’re excited to be able to host a tournament featuring such talented local players.

Matt McDonnell, Assistant Executive Director of the Coliseum, says, “We’ve seen many, many talented kids go onto division 1 basketball and then even on to the N.B.A., so a lot of memories, a lot, a lot of really good kids playing, a lot of great games.”

This year, the three point shooting competition trophy will be named after recently retired Sun Herald sports reporter, Doug Barber, for his long time service covering high school basketball.
