Governor's Challenge Basketball Tournament

December 26-29, 2012
Wicomico Youth & Civic Center

For years, the Wicomico Youth & Civic Center has brought high school boys basketball players together to compete on the hardwood over the holiday break. However, in 2010, a unique spin was put on the event as Maryland Governor Martin O’Malley issued a challenge to Delaware Governor Jack Markell. The wager: a Maryland Smith Island Cake to a Delaware Peach Pie. The inaugural Governor’s Challenge Basketball Tournament was born bringing with it a new level of excitement to this holiday basketball classic.

This year’s Governor’s Challenge tournament will take place December 26-29, 2012 at the Wicomico Youth & Civic Center in Salisbury, Maryland. After winning the Governor’s Challenge in 2010 and 2011, Team Delaware will look for their third straight title while Team Maryland will look to rebound and capture their first. The tournament will also feature an elite "Super Bracket" which will include some of the region’s highest-ranked and most competitive teams and players. “Super Bracket” teams will each play three games which will be featured on Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights of the event.

The entire event is open to the public for daily admission. 2012 ticket prices will be posted in the coming months. Check back for more details.
