Caprock Classic
The world's largest high school tournament
66 years of the Caprock Classic
The first tournament was started when Texas Tech basketball head coach Polk Robison approached Caprock AMBUCS to host a high school boys basketball tournament. It was a great fundraiser for AMBUCS to raise money for a proposed pre-school for mentally handicapped children. Visit www.caprockambucs.com to learn more about why volunteers host the largest tournament in the world.
Which teams are coming this year?
The 66th annual Caprock Classic had teams from across Texas and Oklahoma.
We welcomed 96 teams to compete for a chance to win during Gene Messer Championship Day! Guests and teams are asked to stay at one of our host hotel. Discount hotel rooms can be found here.
Who runs the tournament?
The Tournament is hosted by Lubbock Caprock AMBUCS, a local non-profit comprised of community volunteers. Funds raised from the Caprock Classic are used to help people with disabilities. Find out more in the About Us tab or visit www.caprockambucs.com.
We are always needing volunteers for the tournament and more people willing to join this great organization.
