WHS Girls and Xaverian are Riley Winter Classic Champs in Basketball

Westwood High School and Xaverian Brothers High School basketball teams are tournament champions following the final game of the Riley Winter Classic on February 20th, with Westwood High School Girls defeating Canton 49-18, while Xaverian beat Westwood High School Boys in a close game, 36-31.

While Xaverian successfully defended its standing as Riley Winter Classic champion with back-to-back wins this year and last, the win by Westwood Girls Basketball marks the first time it has won this tournament since 2016. 

The two- day tournament is held each year on Presidents' Day Weekend to honor Westwood Girls Basketball Coach Bill Riley, who from 1990 to 2008 compiled a 357-62 record that included several Tri-Valley League titles.
