Post Christmas tournaments always bring out the best in the communities and bring new teams to areas they normally never venture towards.
The 27th annual Arby's Classic is no exception.
This years field is another solid grouping of teams from all over the world.
Headlining this years event will be Memphis Melrose and their deep and talented West Tennessee bunch led by super junior Adonis Thomas (Melrose), "Mighty" Chris Jones (Melrose) and Bobby Parks Jr. (Melrose).
Joining Melrose from our state are the following schools:
Murfreesboro Seigel, who has encountered some bad luck losing their top two scorers, Kerry Hammonds (Siegel) and Levon Tate (Siegel) to injury, but still have some firepower to compete.
