Over the years\, the tournament has provided thrilling match-ups\, amazing upsets\, nationally ranked teams\, Division I college players and NBA talent. Branco Enterprises\, Inc\, tournament sponsor since 1998\, is proud to bring another year of excellent high school basketball to Neosho\, Missouri. While the tournament has a rich history\, it began to waiver in the 90s. At its lowest point\, it included only four teams\, one of which was the Neosho junior varsity. Aiming for a tournament revival and noting that successful high school basketball tournaments are driven by both business and community support\, Branco Enterprises\, Inc. stepped in and became the official tournament sponsor in 1998. Since then\, the tournament has grown by leaps and bounds and has become one of the premier tournaments in the nation. A girl's division was added in 2001\, and the tournament achieved the goal of fielding 16 boys teams and 16 girls teams in 2009 (the 2011 edition also fielded 32 total teams). The tournament has survived for many decades due to the dedication of the tournament staff\, unwavering community support and the quality of play provided by talented local\, regional and national teams. The high caliber of play seen at the Neosho Holiday Classic never ceases to amaze. Many scouts find their way to Neosho to observe and evaluate that talent.
