Kreul Basketball
The Kreul Basketball Tournament — with top sponsors Eastbay/Champs, BCAA, Gatorade — was Dec. 17-22 in Coral Springs.
The top notch event featured 34 boys’ teams, including 12 teams (many ranked nationally) from out of state. Additionally there were four top girls’ teams.
This marked the 33rd year for The Kruel, named after longtime local basketball supporter, basketball parent and men’s league player the late Jim Kreul. Three of his kids played basketball for Taravella HS in Coral Springs.
The tournament was started to help the family of Jim Kreul, who died playing men’s league basketball. The event has grown into one of longest running national high school tournaments, generating 110 full tuition scholarships to Florida Atlantic University in Boca Raton.
