(St. Louis, MO) – Outstanding players, close games, majestic dunks and more are awaiting us today at the Coaches vs Cancer Holiday Tournament. It is the semifinal day of this annual celebration of great basketball.
There will be eight more basketball games today at Meramec Community College and the final two, the championship semifinals, will be broadcast right here at Valley Hoops Insider!
Perrenial contenders and champions Hazelwood Central and Webster Groves have both reached the final four of the tournament, as has top seeded St. Mary’s and the surging Junior Billikens of Saint Louis U High.
SLUH won the Meramec based tournament four of the first five years of its inception (the first year was 1978), and hasn’t been back to the finals since. Webster has been to the championship game an astounding 14 times, taking the championship trophy home on six occasions.
Hazelwood Central is a more recent addition to the tourney, but has played in the championship game nine times in the last 13 years and the Hawks have been crowned victorious five times.
This is the first year in the tournament for the top seeded Dragons.

Three more road wins so far in @ValleyHoops as @BradleyUMBB @BelmontMBB & @UIC_MBB capture road wins. Looks like @DrakeBulldogsMB will do so too. #FatherHarry
Well @RacersWBB followed the men's example and swept Iowa in the @ValleyHoops race! Racers are 6-1 & if @BelmontWBB holds on to their Iowa sweep, the Bruins and Racers will be tied for first. What a trip for those two teams! #FatherHarry
After today's action, @EIUWBB is 8-0 in @OVCSports play. 4 teams @usiwbb @TTUWBB @LRTrojans @LindenwoodWBB are tied at 6-2. Six other teams are under .500. Great race to the finish lies ahead. #FatherHarry
Really entertaining game between @BelmontMBB & @UEAthletics_MBB. Under four minutes left in a one point game. Gabriel Pozzato back in the Aces' lineup. Rogers is playing like I've expected. Triples are dropping. It's fun and @kylejpeach bringing it on #ThePlus #FatherHarry
