Henry Community Health Hall of Fame Classic

New Castle · December

Last verified: . See something out of date? Tell us.

Summary

Run by the Indiana Basketball Hall of Fame at the New Castle Fieldhouse — at 8,424 seats the largest high school fieldhouse in the country. A flagship in-season high school basketball event in Indiana, with boys and girls games over the holiday break.

What makes this tournament distinct

The venue itself. Playing in front of 8,000+ seats inside the world's largest high school gym is a different animal than any standard tournament floor.

Who it fits

Best for: Indiana programs that want a marquee December date with Hall of Fame connections. Players who have never played in a true big-arena environment before.

Tradeoffs: New Castle is an hour east of Indianapolis — not a major media market. Showcase format means no bracket champion.
