OPS was on the scene at the 2nd Flyin' to the Hoops International Boy's High School Tournament. How big was this event? See for yourself as some of the top names in High School Hoops performed in front of the top critics. You know a tournament is hot when you walk in and see Clark Francis (Hoopscoop), John Stovall (Prep Spotlight), Chris Johnson (Hoopscoop- Ohio), OhioPrepScene.com, and countless college coaches.

This was exactly the sight at the second annual Flyin’ to the Hoops International Boy’s High School Invitational Tournament here in Vandalia, Ohio. The Vandalia-Butler Student Activity Center, which is nicer than most DIII college arenas, was the site for this soon to be prestigious high school tournament.

Tournament Director Eric Horstman, is following the blueprint of, the man I dubbed “The White Don King,” super promoter Bobby Jacobs (Slam Dunk to the Beach), Jacobs has assisted Horstman in assembling some of the finest teams in America.

The reception, professionalism, and class of this production are only added value to the exciting basketball action taking place over the 3-day weekend in which we honor the birth of the late great Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
