The Beach Ball Classic's rise to prominence has been talked about for years. It has been covered by countless news outlets and earned plenty of hype as one of the United States' best high school tournaments every year.

It's never been written about like this.

"The Beach Ball Classic: Premier High School Hoops on the Grand Strand" takes readers inside the backstories that allowed the tournament to not only survive, but continue to expand over the course of thirty-five years. The personalities who set foot on the event's three home courts include some of the biggest names in professional basketball, as well as a large number of behind-the-scenes men and women who turned The Classic into a tradition that well exceeded the borders of Myrtle Beach or even the state of South Carolina.

Released in December of 2016, the book from History Press and Arcadia Publishing is available on numerous online platforms. Or you can just shoot us an email and we can get your squared away with an autogrphed copy for pennies on the dollar (Read: We might ask you for shipping costs.)
