Portola and Woodbridge high schools in Irvine will be the site of the 2nd annual Mariko Memorial Boys Classic beginning Monday, Nov. 28 and running through Saturday, Dec. 3.

“Last year, we had 17 teams, but this year only have eight, with good competition,” Smith said. “The tournament is named after the grandparents of one of our players in our program. They were big supporters of the program and obviously their grandson, who is a senior this year. When they passed, we thought it would be a nice gesture to name the tournament after them.”
