205 Tip-Off Classic all-time records

Auburn, Elgin Larkin, East, Belvidere and Indianapolis Pike will be making their third straight appearances in the 205 Tip-Off Classic in November. The 2015 champion, Chicago Hyde Park, will be back to defend its title. Janesville Parker, Rockford Guilford, Freeport and Madison LaFollette also are making return engagements. Proviso West is back after sitting out last year's classic.

Here are the all-time records so far - yes, it's only two years, still, a good tournament keeps these kind of records.
