Holiday hoops are almost here. Tons of teams and prospects are about to take the court. We are about to take a deep dive into the top Holiday Tournaments in the state with our previews. Here is our look at the Decatur Eisenhower Tournament. Dates: December 27-29 Location: Decatur Eisenhower HS & Decatur MacArthur HS Opening Day Schedule Eisenhower vs. Williamsville, 10 a.m. Southeast vs. Mt. Zion, 10 a.m. Urbana vs. Unity, 11:30 a.m. Mahomet-Seymour vs. Kaneland, 11:30 a.m. Mt. Zion vs. Champaign Central, 1 p.m. Williamsville vs. MacArthur, 1 p.m. Kaneland vs. Southeast, 2:30 p.m. Unity vs. Eisenhower, 2:30 p.m. Favorites to win This is a very talented pool of teams and prospects. Four of these teams can easily make the claim they can legitimately take the title home. With MacArthur having a homecourt advantage and a very talented team, I see them being a tough out. I believe Champaign Central will also contend as well, if not take the title home, with their guard play arguably being the best among the field.
