The Pacesetter “Sweet Sixteen” Basketball Championship has become the premier summer tournament for varsity players as 32 top boys’ and girls’ teams in Minnesota gather to play for two over-all championships.
Four Class A, four Class AA, four Class AAA and four Class AAAA teams will be invited and make up the 16-team fields for both boys and girls. One team from each class will be placed into each 4-team bracket. Teams then play two full games each day (9-min. stopped time quarters) for the over-all championship and bragging rights as the best summer varsity team in Minnesota. Many Sweet Sixteen champions have gone on to win high school state championships the following March.
