Elgin Larkin is a familiar foe. The Royals have played in the Tip-Off every year, compiling a 10-7 record against usually the best competition. Under coach Deryn Carter, Larkin has won more than 20 games and regional titles in four of the past five seasons.
North Chicago will be playing in the Tip-Off for the first time. Gerald Coleman will be entering his 14th season as coach. Under his direction, the Warhawks have topped 20 wins in a season seven times, won 10 regional titles, advanced to the 3A state tournament three times, finishing second once and fourth twice. Last season, the Warhawks knocked off Boylan in the 3A supersectionals.
Chicago Perspectives is the other Chicago-area school entering the Classic. Perspectives went 9-18 last season and last won an IHSA regional in 2013-2014.
Locally, Rockford's four public high schools will be in the Classic as well as fellow NIC-10 school, Freeport. This will be the third Tip-Off Classic for the Pretzels. They've compiled a 3-9 record so far. District 205 will release the preliminary schedule next week.
