PROVISO WEST HOLIDAY TOURNAMENT STATE QUALIFIERS

Through the first 50 years of the Proviso West Holiday Tournament, 97 teams have advanced to the State Tournament.  Teams that advanced to the Sweet Sixteen round during the single class system and two Class system and teams that advanced to Elite Eight round in the four class system are considered to have advanced to the state final round.  A record six different teams advanced as Sweet 16 qualifiers during the 1998-99 campaign.  Proviso West Holiday Tournament teams won back-to-back-to-back state championships on two different occasions -- during the 1968-1970 seasons and again from 2007-2010.  With 14 state champions, the Proviso West Holiday Tournament remains as one of the best regular season preparations for success in state tournament play.
