The 2023 McCallie-Dr Pepper Classic is a showcase of some of the best high school basketball talent and teams in Tennessee and the nation. But it is always more than that.

The basketball event brings together the community for two days of entertainment featuring an impactful luncheon with a prominent guest speaker, a nationally-ranked team, four highly-competitive squads, a dunk contest, and a three-point shooting contest all typically before standing-room-only crowds.

The Eighth Annual Dr Pepper Classic is February 10-11 and promises to be one of the best.

Can't wait to see you there!
