UPDATE: Consolation and championship game times on November 20 have been corrected.

This weekend, Bluffton will once again tip off the girls basketball season by hosting the annual four-team McDonald's Holiday Tournament.

The Lady Pirates will face local rival Cory-Rawson in the second semifinal Friday night, November 19 at 7:30 p.m. The Hornet girls are the defending tournament champion.

The first semifinal contest between Allen East and Arlington will start at 6 p.m.

The third-place consolation contest will take place Saturday at 1:30 p.m. (UPDATED)

The championship game between the semifinal winners will follow  at 3:00 p.m. (UPDATED)

The Saturday, November 20 schedule was moved up to the afternoon to accommodate the Allen East fan base, allowing them to attend the Mustang regional final football game against Coldwater that night.

C-R beat Bluffton in the semifinals last year, then defeated Arlington in overtime in the finals. The Pirate girls defeated AE 62-36 to win the consolation contest.
