Celebrating its 17th year, the Thanksgiving Hoopfest is widely regarded as one of the premier high school basketball showcases in the country. This event was among the first to spotlight both boys’ and girls’ teams on a national stage. Alumni include NBA stars such as Trae Young, De’Aaron Fox, Cade Cunningham, and Tyrese Maxey. Since the 2023 NBA Draft, over 20 former participants have gone on to be drafted—cementing Hoopfest’s legacy as a launchpad for future professionals.
