Holiday basketball tournaments: Here's what's on tap this week for Erie-area high school teams
The District 10 basketball calendar is filled with holiday tournaments this week ahead of January's loaded schedule of region play.
Most of the area's basketball teams scheduled to compete this week will be in the region with the exception of the Mercyhurst Prep girls and Cathedral Prep girls. The Lakers are scheduled to be in Orlando, Florida, for the Bishop Moore tournament, while the unbeaten Ramblers are scheduled to compete in the KSA tournament in Kissimmee, Florida.

What tournaments are in Erie County?
There are five tournaments — three boys, two girls — scheduled within county limits, including both boys and girls games in the Barringer tournament at Iroquois. This marks the return for the girls games in the tournament as just the boys games were held last year.
In the boys portion at Iroquois on Tuesday, Erie First Christian plays Region 4 foe North East at 5:30 p.m. while the host Braves face Union City at 8:30 p.m. The consolation and championship games are Wednesday night at 5:30 and 8:30, respectively.
Also at Iroquois, the girls matchups Tuesday will be Jamestown against Eisenhower at 4 p.m. and the host Braves vs. Rocky Grove at 7 p.m. Iroquois, which snapped a 38-game losing streak earlier this season, enters the tournament at 3-4. The winners of Tuesday's game will meet in the championship Wednesday at 7 p.m. The consolation game is at 4.
The three-day Fairview girls tournament will include six teams, opening Wednesday with Corry facing Northwestern at 4:30 p.m., followed by General McLane meeting North East at 6 p.m. and Fairview hosting Seneca at 7:30.
The Lancers, coming off their first loss of the season, 42-29 at Harbor Creek, enter the tournament at 6-1. Fairview, led by Hope Garrity, an Edinboro recruit and the all-time leading scorer in Tigers history, is 5-3.
There are also boys tournaments at Corry and Harbor Creek.
Corry's tournament opens Tuesday with Northwestern taking on Southwestern (New York) at 6 p.m., followed by Corry hosting Eisenhower at 7:30. The consolation and title games are the following day at 6 p.m. and 7:30 p.m.
A pair of Ohio teams will compete at Harbor Creek starting Wednesday with Seneca playing Jefferson (Ohio) at 6 p.m. followed by Harbor Creek facing Struthers (Ohio) at 7:30 p.m. Thursday's consolation game is at noon and the championship is set for a 1:30 p.m. tip.
Six unbeaten teams remain
The week starts with six unbeaten teams in District 10, three boys and three girls. The boys teams are Girard (5-0), Greenville (5-0) and Cathedral Prep (6-0), while the Greenville (5-0), Cathedral Prep (6-0) and McDowell (7-0) girls are still perfect.
The Girard boys will be at the Conneaut tournament, opening against General McLane on Thursday. The Greenville boys are in the Neshannock tournament, while Prep has just one non-region matchup this week after winning a division title in the KSA tournament last week.
The Greenville girls are scheduled to compete in the Hickory tournament, while the Prep girls are in Florida. McDowell is idle this week after winning the KSA tournament's Red Bracket last week.
