Watch Day 1 of TitleOne Tip-Off Classic games here

IDAHO FALLS — Sixteen local and regional high school basketball teams — eight boys teams and eight girls teams — are converging on Idaho Falls and the Mountain America Center to decide who is the TitleOne champion. But those teams will play for much more than just hoop superiority.

Hillcrest boys and girls, Century boys and Shelley boys will represent eastern Idaho at the first-annual TitleOne Tip-Off Classic, joining teams from across the state and one team from Wyoming. By accepting the invite, all 16 teams have earned money for a nonprofit organization of their choosing.

Each organization chosen to be represented by the 16 teams will receive a $1,000 donation directly from TitleOne. Additional funds will be allocated from the proceeds generated by the tournament, meaning those donations could be significantly larger than what has already been guaranteed.
