The holiday season brings with it festive family gatherings, wintry weather, and high school basketball tournaments. Hinsdale Central heads back to Proviso West while Hinsdale South heads west to compete at DeKalb.

Hinsdale Central

Tournament: Proviso West Holiday Tournament

Location: 4701 W. Harrison St., Hillside

First game: 5 p.m. Saturday, vs. Lincoln Park

What to watch: After dropping the season opener to rival Hinsdale South, the Red Devils have won six of their last seven games and moved into second place in the West Suburban Silver conference.

After topping Naperville Central 67-54 Saturday, the Red Devils had a week-long break from game action before the beginning of the Proviso West Holiday Tournament on Saturday. The Red Devils will open the 32-team tournament against Lincoln Park, which started the season with a 2-4 record. The competition gets even tougher in the second round as Central would face either St. Joes, undefeated to start the year, or a tough Nazareth team. The Red Devils have a size advantage few can match with 6-foot-7 forward Matt Rafferty.

The tournament championship, third place and consolation games will be played Dec. 31.

Hinsdale South
