Who won the 2014 Lash-Chronicle Holiday Classic? Check out the video and see!

The Lash-Chronicle Holiday Classic is viewed by many as the showcase venue for junior varsity basketball in Forsyth County, N.C. In 2014, it was held Dec. 13, 18, 19, 20 and 22, mostly at Carver High School.

Carver was the primary tournament site, but Winston-Salem Prep was host to the quarterfinals match-up and consolation games on Dec. 19. The championship game was Monday, Dec. 22.

“What stands out most to me about the Lash-Chronicle is the quality of play and the intensity,” said Robert Wynn, tournament director. “These kids come to play. As for the coaches, they’re intense competitors when they’re on the bench and when they’re off the court. That high level of play we’re seeing at the junior varsity level carries over to the varsity level when these junior varsity players move up.”

The Lash-Chronicle marked its 23rd year in 2014. Wynn, who has served as the classic’s only tournament director, is pleased with how L-C has continued to grow and evolve.

“I’ve always had hopes that the tournament would grow to be what it has become,” said Wynn. “The support we’ve gotten from those who are behind the scenes, along with school administrators and the parents of the players has been excellent.”
