A slew of holiday basketball tournaments get underway Wednesday and many local teams from the Umpqua Basin will be out on the courts.

The Roseburg boys basketball team will square off with Forest Grove in the first round of the Abby’s Holiday Classic in Medford Wednesday night. The Indians are coming off a disappointing loss to Aloha last Thursday and had a couple of practices before a few days off for the holidays. Now, Roseburg will gear up for a stretch run before beginning Southwest Conference play in a couple of weeks.

Roseburg will face Forest Grove at North Medford High School. The Vikings, out of the Greater Valley Conference, are 3-5 on the year and coming off a loss to Century last Thursday. Wednesday’s game will begin at 6 p.m. Roseburg will move on to face either La Salle Prep or North Medford in the next round on Thursday.

The Lady Bulldogs begin the trip with a contest against Chugiak High School from Anchorage, Alaska on Wednesday. Sutherlin will also face two other teams from Alaska at the tournament, which runs through Saturday.
