During the second week of Christmas break, the Chargers took a trip to Florida to participate in the Marlins Christmas Classic. The trip included a lot of basketball as well as a lot of team bonding opportunities, “It was one of the most fun I’ve ever had on a trip, it was really fun being able to spend all day with the guys. Playing good basketball made the trip a lot more fun too,” said junior Thomas Wiseheart. The Chargers performed well in this tournament finishing third place in the tournament.
