About this Article

Jason Nichols' goal was to create the best girls basketball tournament in the Chicago area. Montini might just have it this year. Five undefeated teams generally regarded as among the top 20 in the Chicago area highlight a deep field at the Montini Christmas Tournament. The tournament, which runs from Dec. 26-29, expanded to 16 teams this year.
