B-PC/Avon Tournament Trivia:

Matt Colston is the new Spartan head coach. He's the son of long-time Illini Bluffs head coach Mike Colston.

BPCA set a record last year for fewest points scored in two games at 46.

Last year marked the first of a co-op with Avon for boys basketball.

Avon was a tournament participant in four events (1991-1994). During that stretch, the Trojans were winless in eight M-WHT games.

In 2005, Zach Stuaan became the first Spartan to be named to the all-tournament team since 1988 when a trio of B-PC players received the honor: Rob Louthain, Fred Serven and Todd Teel.

The Spartans have not won a M-WHT opening round game since 2005 when they beat Canton 49-46.

Despite falling in the 5th place game in 2005, it marked the first time since 1992 that the Spartans made it to a trophy-round game.

B-PC last won a trophy in 1991 when they finished 3rd.

Fred Serven shared Tournament MVP honors with Payson's Derek Banta in 1988.

Bart Arthur was Tournament MVP in 1975. 25 years later, his son, Brad, playing for Abingdon, would earn All-Tournament honors.

In 1966, Alan Rose took Tournament MVP honors.
