This could be the deepest
@BassProTOfC in the event's 41-year history when it returns to Great Southern Bank Arena Jan. 15-17, if the always tough GEICO City of Palms Classic wrapping up tonight is an indication.
Perennial power Paul VI from Chantilly, VA is in the COPC title game on ESPN2 here in a few minutes and the Panthers and the amazing Jordan Smith Jr (
@sm23itty) will be arguably the favorite to add a third T of C title to its resume' next month.
Two T of C teams - Principia and Bartlett (TN) just wrapped up a thrilling third-place game with a 53-52 win by the Missouri defending Class 3 champion.
Principia also knocked off national top-ranked Wheeler (GA), yet another T of C participant, in an early round.
Calvary Christian Academy and St. John Bosco were also part of the elite COPC field. Throw in local entries Logan-Rogersville and Kickapoo, and this upcoming T of C field is absolutely loaded.
