Phil Brown Basketball Classic
Phil Brown Basketball Tournament concludes successful 28th year
The Rotary Club of Westerville concluded another highly successful Phil Brown Holiday Basketball Classic Friday, Dec. 27, 2019.
Played in Otterbein University’s Rike Center, participating Westerville high school teams won five of their six games against local competition in this year’s tournament.
Both boys and girls squads from all three Westerville schools play in the tourney. Final scores from the 2019 Classic were, in order of games played:
- Westerville North girls 67, Worthington Christian 42
- Worthington Christian boys 61, Westerville North boys 51
- Westerville Central girls 49, Mount Vernon 27
- Westerville Central boys 51, Tri-Valley 38

The tournament originally was organized in 1991 by Westerville South boys Coach Ed Calo and former Westerville North boys Coach Dave Hoover, as the Westerville Holiday Basketball Classic. It has been staged by the Westerville Rotary since 1998, and was renamed the Phil Brown Holiday Basketball Classic in honor of the late Brown, who served as president of the club in 1995-96.
The Rotary Club of Westerville extends its congratulations to all the players and fans who attended, and thanks to Otterbein University for providing the wonderful venue of the Rike Center.

A few years ago, I gave Rotary some photos of the ground breaking for Harris-Askins House. My father, Morris, was very involved with that project, as were so many other Rotarians. I found these photos of the dedication and some other events, so I thought I would share with you all.
