Poor weather conditions postponed the originally planned tip-off of the Hinsdale Central Holiday Classic, as all games were cancelled on December 23.  The tournament was moved back, so that all games would be played after the holidays and away from the winter storm.  Stevenson was red hot in the tourney's first game, as they shot 68% in the first quarter and cruised to a running-clock victory.  Oswego East, looking to return to the the title game, methodically chipped away against Lincoln-Way Central to capture a 58-51 victory.   Morgan Park's Randy Walls scored a putback lay-up at the buzzer to advance the Mustangs to the second round, with a one-point victory over Richards.  DePaul Prep outscored Morton 35-12 in the second half to cruise to their seventh straight opening round HC Classic victory.  Marian Catholic led wire-to-wire in their 51-39 win versus Maine South.  Rockford Auburn never trailed in their 60-47 win with Willowbrook.  Hinsdale Central shook off a three-point first half deficit to defeat Oak Forest 71-52.  Homewood-Flossmoor shot a blistering 59.6% from the field  to outscore Saint Charles east 83-58 to complete first-round action.

Lincoln-Way Central, Richards, Maine South and Saint Charles East all won their second day consolation round contests.  Oswego East outscored Stevenson 32-19 in the second half to advance to the semi-finals.  DePaul Prep outscored Morgan Park 31-14 in the second half to secure their fifth HCHC Final Four berth.  Marian Catholic shot 46% from the three-point arc to help defeat Rockford Auburn 54-49.  Hinsdale Central jumped out to an 11-point first half lead and limited Homewood-Flossmoor to 34% shooting from the field in a 69-59 win. 

Willowbrook's Noah Campbell scored 30 points against Oak Forest as the Warriors won 79-73.  Lincoln-Way Central and Maine South both advanced to the Consolation Championship with third round victories.  Stevenson upended Morgan Park 70-55 and Homewood-Flossmoor outpointed Rockford Auburn 74-61 in the fifth place bracket.  Oswego East returned to the championship game for the second straight year by defeating DePaul Prep 62-47.  The Wolfpack never trailed, shot 56% from the field and were led by Mekhi Lowery who tallied 17 points and 12 rebounds.  Ben Oosterbaan poured in 21 points as the host Red Devils advanced to the championship game in their own tournament for the first time in their 44-27 win over Marian Catholic.

In final day morning action, Isaac Sobieszczyk of Willowbrook recorded his fourth double-double, becoming the first player in tournament history to ever do so.  Maine South outlasted Lincoln-Way Central 30-27 to capture the consolation title.  Trailing by eight points with two minutes left to play, Stevenson finished on an 11-2 run to secure the fifth place trophy.  Christian Uremovich scored 16 for the Patriots.  Quentin Jones and Donovan Juzang combined for 32 points as Marian Catholic defeated DePaul Prep 43-30 to win the third place game.  Hinsdale Central built a ten-point halftime lead en route to a 54-41 victory over Oswego East in the title game.  Emerson Eck led the Red Devils with 16 points.  Hinsdale Central became the first team in tournament history to win all four of their tournament games by double digits.

Oosterbaan led the tournament in scoring and was named the tournament's Most Valuable Player, which was now named after the late Justin Hardy, the tournament's all-time career scoring leader.  Hardy's parents presented the award after the final game.  Also on the first team All-Tournament Team were Mekhi Lowery of Oswego East, Quention Jones of Marian Catholic, Maurice Thomas of DePaul Prep and Carson Brownfield of Homewood-Flossmoor.  Chase Collignon and Emerson Eck of Hinsdale Central, Oswego East's Bryce Shoto, Stevenson's Christian Uremovich and Morgan Park's Orlando James were on the remainder of the All-Tournament Team.
