Amid a series of three destructive floods that pounded little Johnstown, Pennsylvania, in less than a century, Cambria County residents somehow maintained their lofty expectations and big-picture foresight to begin what would become the oldest Christmas high school basketball tournament in the nation, as they would boast. Learn the amazing history behind an historic hardwood tournament.

Bradley A. Huebner is the author of two books about Pennsylvania high school basketball. His first book, Titles for Our Town, captures small-town dynasties from the golden age of the 1950s and 1960s. A veteran basketball coach, Huebner grew up playing basketball, baseball and football in Pennsylvania. His father, Richard, played in Johnstown's AAABA tournament in front of fifteen thousand fans in 1952. His grandfather was a repeat golf champion at Lehigh Country Club. Bradley now lives a short drive from Hersheypark Arena, where Wilt Chamberlain famously scored one hundred points in one game, and near Hershey Country Club, where his grandfather learned golf from the great Ben Hogan.
