Fans of high school basketball will have the chance to get their fill of it at the second annual Aldine ISD Holiday Challenge, slated Dec. 29-30 at the M.O. Campbell Educational Center.

The Holiday Challenge will benefit the Aldine Education Foundation and attract 14 boys’ teams and four girls’ teams from the Houston area.
Tickets are $10 a day and can be purchased at the Aldine ISD Athletic Department, located in the M.O. Campbell Educational Center at 1865 Aldine Bender Road. Tickets will also be on sale during the two days of the Challenge.

The boy’s field will consist of Aldine Davis, Aldine Eisenhower, Aldine MacArthur, Aldine Nimitz, Beaumont Central, Fort Bend Hightower, Fort Bend Marshall, HYCA, Katy Tompkins, North Forest, Streak Jesuit, Victory Prep, Westbury Christian and Westside. The girl’s field will consist of Aldine Davis, Aldine MacArthur, Spring and Summer Creek.

Games will begin at 9 a.m. and run throughout both days until the final game is tipped off at 7:30 p.m.

Richard Delgado, Aldine ISD’s director of athletics, said he is excited about the prospects of this event growing into a major holiday basketball event in the near future.

“We’re excited about the possibilities that this could lead to,” Delgado said. “We envision it becoming a 32-team tournament in the near future and one that attracts some of the top teams in the area and the state. If you are a fan of high school basketball, then the Campbell Center will be the place for you to be Dec. 29 and Dec. 30.”
