2017 Lighthouse Thanksgiving Classic
Corinth HS
Corinth, MS
The Lighthouse Thanksgiving Classic has set a precedent for events in Mississippi. No, every event does not have to follow the footsteps of Vince and Gary with all the out of state talent but that should tell you something. Vince Overholt and Gary Caveness work year round preparing this 2 day event. They are doing so good that the best teams/players in the state want to be there, best teams/players in the South want to be there and the best teams/players in the country want to be there. Here is a checklist that every event should go by when putting their events on. Go to the Lighthouse, see how they do things and follow in their footsteps (even if your event is the same day, go on the other day). You will benefit for it.
- College Coaches seating area. College Coaches do not want to sit in the stands with regular fans. They have enough problems with their own fans telling them why they should sign little Gary and they don’t need you telling them how good Johnny is. They get paid the big bucks to watch and figure out on their own and the fans hinder them from watching. Coaches should feel safe and comfortable watching the top talent. Lighthouse=check
- Media working area. Why can’t I get media to cover my events or come to my event? Are you taking care of them and giving them what they need to do their job? Do they have adequate electrical plugs to keep the laptops and IPads or phones going? The Lighthouse goes above and beyond by supplying a media room to work in and a press conference room. Yes, those post game interviews look really nice with the sponsors logos behind them. That’s why Vince and Gary get top notch sponsors. All the media in the state need to cover this event because they take care of you. No sitting in the stands and no standing up by the wall plugged in. You can even watch down on the games from the media room. Stats are covered by Northeast MS CC. Blake Long and his crew keep you up to date with halftime and end of game stat sheets for every game. Media heaven. Lighthouse=big check.
- Hospitality room. You don’t have to have a hospitality room but it is a big plus. The sponsors provide a great meal both days and the entire day. If you can’t provide a hospitality room (and I don’t have a clue why you couldn’t at least get parents or teachers to help) at least have a solid concession stand with real food, not just candy. If you run out, run to the store and refill it. I know myself and my friends will watch an event for 10-12 hours. That’s a long time to go without real food. Take care of the media and Coaches that are there at your event. There is too may in the state and they will move on to the next one. You are excused from the hospitality room if you have 4 games or less but I’ve been to several lately that still provided great hospitality. Lighthouse=check.
- Program with rosters. Not needed but enjoyed. You can even make extra money from selling adds and having programs. Why the heck not? Rosters are a big help for media and Coaches since a good bit of the Coaches don’t use MaxPreps (again, why the heck not use MaxPreps). Lighthouse has a very big and great program so you can follow along game by game. Team on left page vs team on right page. How simple is that? Lighthouse=check.
- Access to players. The Lighthouse has hosts that are responsible for getting whatever players the media needs in the press conference room (even if they lose). Another simple thing to where the media doesn’t have to run all over the gym chasing players. Great added service they provide to take care of media. Lighthouse=check
- Game MVP’S. It’s not needed but it’s nice to recognize the best player/players in each game. Lighthouse=check
- Enjoyment factor for the fans. This plays into some of the above mentioned items but if you don’t have fans, you don’t have an event. Have real foods for the fans to eat so they are not starving and guess what, you make more money. The Lighthouse provides pizza slices, burgers, hot dogs and Zaxby’s chicken fingers. Not a full meal but it will tie you over and you wont be miserable. I know this other item has a lot to do with the referees but keep the blowouts and bad games flowing. You thought it was going to be an awesome game when you made the schedule and o no, team X is 10-0 and team Y is 0-10. Have the stripes hold the whistles down and get it over with. I know it’s hard to control them but it never hurts to ask if they could speed it up. Good refs know how to work games and control situations to make this happen. You might think that you got their money, why does it matter. You won’t get that money next year from them because they will remember. Lighthouse=check
A big thanks goes out to Chris Street, Cole Street and Billy Roberts for helping cover this years Lighthouse.

What a showdown between Da House summer teammates. Tylandrius “Ty” Parks (6-4 ’18 G/F Middleton 28 pts 15 reb 4 ast 3 blk 2 st) and Ma’Darius Hobson (6-2 ’18 G/F Houlka 35 pts 14 reb 3 ast 3 st 15-22 fg 4-6 ft) put on a show for the fans in a healthy battle. Kentavious Berry (5-11 ’19 G Middleton 25 pts 2 reb 2 ast 12-21 fg) and Da’Shun Berry (6-0 ’20 G Houlka 22 pts 5 reb 3 ast 3 st 10-15 fg) both had very good games for their respective teams.

#14 TN Cordova Wolves 7-3 (Cordova, TN) 53
Cordova jumped out to an early lead without Ladarius “Krunchy” Marshall (6-7 ’18 F Forest Hill 18 pts 13 reb 4 blk 8-12 fg) playing in the first quarter. When he entered the second quarter he was a game changer. He earned game MVP in only three quarters of play. Keondre Montgomery (6-7 ’20 G/F Forest Hill 17 pts 4 reb 2 ast 3 blk 2 3’s) contributed with a good game of his own. Marc Evans (6-4 ’19 PG Forest Hill 10 pts 5 reb 5 ast 2 blk 2 st 2 3’s) had a very solid stat line. Tyler Harris (5-9 ’18 PG Cordova 13 pts 4 reb 3 ast 2 st 2 3’s) scored a combined 64 points of Saturday, the 13 at the Lighthouse and 54 in the MLK Challenge Championship in Memphis which they won.

The story of the game to me was Kira Lewis (6-3 ’19 G Hazel Green 18 pts 5 reb 8 ast 2 st 8-13 fg 2 3’s). Kira played the 2 during the summer and he looked good doing it but on Saturday he played point. He looked really, really good playing the point dishing out 8 assist.

Watch Olive Branch vs Madison Prep
A very fast and physical game with two high powered teams. Madison Prep had just a little more firepower to get the win. Kobe Julien (6-6 ’18 F Madison Prep 22 pts 7 reb 2 ast 8-12 fg 5-6 ft) and Josh LeBlanc (6-7 ’18 F Madison Prep 13 pts 9 reb 5 ast 3 blk 3 st 5-8 fg) both had solid games.

Watch Sunrise Academy vs Aspire Academy
Sunrise used a big defensive third quarter to put away Aspire Academy. Malik Hall (6-7 ’19 G/F 17 pts 2 reb 2 ast 7-12 fg) looked really impressive in the win, impressive enough to earn an offer from Ole Miss. Most notably for this game was Mississippi resident Austin Crowley (6-6 ’19 G 3 pts 2 reb 2 ast 1 st 1 3’s) made his appearance for the Buffaloes.
