How could anybody - democrat, republican or independent - think that this looks normal? Images like these will be held up to future generations as an example of an authoritarian period in our history and it will be a shameful one. Deeply shameful. Video credit to Status Coup.
It is outstanding to see so many @officialSPS student groups represented at the @BassProTOfC! I appreciate all the educators & support staff who work closely with these students to shape their lives in important ways! @BassProShops #THETOC 🏀
The @BassProTOfC is unquestionably one of the most storied tournaments in all of high school basketball. On Thursday's opening night, the stars of 2026, 2027 and beyond were shining in Springfield, Mo. https://t.co/GcXQX0nUll
Another big time effort from Wake Forest signee Quentin Coleman. Got lots of help from 2027 guard Nassim Toure. Principia/Calvary Christian and Bartlett/Paul VI should be a pair of great semis tomorrow night.
Strong effort from ‘27 PG Cayden Daughtry of Calvary Christian tonight. Not settling for threes, getting into paint and earning easy points at the line. 2026 five star Christian Collins comes alive late despite foul issues. Calvary with the win to close out night @BassProTOfC
We’ve got a ballgame in Springfield. 2027 #Indiana commit Chase Branham hits the three to give Logan-Rogersville a 58-55 lead over Paul VI with 3:40 to go in the 4th in an opening round game @BassProTOfC
Paul VI (VA) and 5⭐️ Jordan Smith Jr. hold the No. 1 spot in the MaxPreps High School Basketball National Top 25 heading into the New Year 💪🏀
Sunnyslope (AZ) makes a huge jump from unranked straight into the Top 10 😤📈

This could be the deepest @BassProTOfC in the event's 41-year history when it returns to Great Southern Bank Arena Jan. 15-17, if the always tough GEICO City of Palms Classic wrapping up tonight is an indication.
Perennial power Paul VI from Chantilly, VA is in the COPC title game on ESPN2 here in a few minutes and the Panthers and the amazing Jordan Smith Jr (@sm23itty) will be arguably the favorite to add a third T of C title to its resume' next month.
Two T of C teams - Principia and Bartlett (TN) just wrapped up a thrilling third-place game with a 53-52 win by the Missouri defending Class 3 champion.
Principia also knocked off national top-ranked Wheeler (GA), yet another T of C participant, in an early round.
Calvary Christian Academy and St. John Bosco were also part of the elite COPC field. Throw in local entries Logan-Rogersville and Kickapoo, and this upcoming T of C field is absolutely loaded.
