PUHI — The annual Isle Hoops Holiday Classic basketball tournament kicks off at 3:50 p.m. today at the Wilcox Gymnasium on the Island School campus.
“We had to add an extra day to the tournament because of the overwhelming response,” said Jack Viohl, who along with Corey Dobashi coordinates the tournament. “There is also the change in the Kauai Interscholastic Federation schedule that affects play.”

Today, the DownTown takes on Papalina followed by the Ballers taking on Westside starting at 4:40 p.m. Seven games are on tap for the Wilcox Gymnasium for today, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday.
