The IHSAA and the Indiana Basketball Hall of Fame have entered into a three‐year agreement to be the exclusive video content producer of the Raymond James Hall of Fame Classic.
The eight games will air on the IHSAA’s online video platform, IHSAAtv.org (part of the IHSAA Champions Network), and on the ISC Sports Network. The 2018 Raymond James Hall of Fame Classic will be played at the New Castle Fieldhouse on Friday, December 28 and Saturday, December 29.
“We are excited about this partnership,” said IHSAA Director of Broadcast Operations, Heath Shanahan. “With the synergies and shared mission of our organizations, it only makes sense that we be involved in such a great tournament.”
“In an ever‐changing landscape of media consumption, aligning with the IHSAA and their media platforms presented the best opportunity to showcase our event to a larger audience, spotlighting some of the best teams, players and coaches on the Indiana high school basketball landscape,” notes Hall of Fame executive director Chris May. “We are excited by the possibilities this arrangement presents.”
The 35th annual Girls Classic will take place on December 28 and teams include 2018 3A Champion Northwestern, Bedford North Lawrence, Jeffersonville, and Homestead. The 42nd annual Boys Classic will take place the following day on December 29 and teams include the 2018 4A Champion Warren Central, Westview, Center Grove, and Valparaiso.
