Reason: Fundraiser for former Elder player Ryan Custer--Cov. Cath, Oak Hills, Elder and Cooper playing National teams, so likely four L's by local teams, but for a great cause at a wonderful venue!!
The first two games of the classic will be Oak Hill Academy of Virginia vs. Covington Catholic at noon and Legacy Charter of South Carolina vs. Cincinnati Oak Hills at 2:15 p.m.
The final two games will be Huntington Prep of West Virginia vs. Cincinnati Elder at 4:30 p.m. and La Lumiere of Indiana vs. Cooper at 6:45 p.m.
Net proceeds from the four games will go to the Ryan Custer Foundation.

Custer played basketball at Elder High School and received a scholarship to Wright State University. After completing his freshman year in college, however, he shattered his C5 vertabrae in an accident and is now paralyzed with limited mobility.
Custer is now learning to drive in a specially equipped vehicle. His family is raising money to finance a vehicle of his own.
