The 2012-13 prep basketball season will tip off Monday at Prouty Gymnasium for the start of the Princeton High School Athletic Booster Club sponsored annual Holiday Tournament, where three area teams will open up the new season.

This year’s tournament, which runs from Nov. 12-17, has been restructured into pool play. Erie, Henry-Senachwine, LaMoille/Ohio and Princeton make up the Blue Pool with Putnam County, Stark County, Bureau Valley and Midland in the White Pool.

The host Tigresses are the defending champions, having defeated Stark County for the championship a year ago.
