20th Annual Milt Brueggeman Hope Classic, est. 2002

One family

We come together to enjoy the players giving their best in the sport of basketball.  In addition, you will see great fellowship in other ways…not just among the spectators, but among those playing card games and those cooking up something delicious in the kitchen.  On Sunday, we all come together for the Glory of God in worship.

Rules

We follow NFHS rules and guidelines.  Games will consist of four 6-minute quarters, with the clock stopping every whistle.  Each team is allowed three full and two 30-second timeouts per game.  Overtimes are 2 minutes, with each time getting one additional full minute timeout.  There will be a 5-minute halftime.  Prior to each game, there will be a minimum of 5 minutes for warm-up time.

Facilities

God has provided us with a wonderful basketball facility, also called our Family Life Center (FLC).  Our older basketball facility on the east side is known as Concord Hall.

Second-round consolation bracket games will be played in Concord Hall.

There is a special hospitality room just north of the concession area for coaches, referees and athletic directors for their hard work in helping to make this tournament possible.  Players are not allowed in this area.
