Harry Giles & Thon Maker Battle For #1: HSOT Holiday Invitational Official Recap

The Holiday Invitational is held each year at Raleigh, NC’s Broughton High School and every year it seems to get crazier and crazier.

The final day featured big showings from 7’ 5’’ UCF commit Tacko Fall finishing with 44 points and tying the Total Rebound record, a 25-year record held by Shawn Bradley. UNC-G commit Demetrius Troy also broke the tournament record for 3 pointers made (10) while finishing with 49 points.
