The Silver Creek Holiday Tournament, as it has been known since 1961, is held at Silver Creek High School, in Sellersburg, Indiana, on the last weekend in December each year. The Silver Creek Holiday Tournament, has included the same four boy's high school varsity basketball teams for 47 consecutive years, the Charlestown HS Pirates, the Clarksville HS Generals, the Providence HS Pioneers, and the host Silver Creek HS Dragons. The tournament games are decided by draw, and include one first round game for each team the first night of the tournament, followed the second night by a consolation game for the losers of the first round; and a championship game for the winners of the first round. The Tournament Champion is presented the traveling Championship Barrel trophy. The Tournament also includes the selection of an All-Tournament Team and MVP; as well as since 1968, the crowning of a Tournament Queen. The Queen is selected from a court of four queen candidates, comprised of one senior grade girl selected from each high school participating in the tournament. This Holiday Tournament is one of the most historic in all of the rich traditions of Indiana High School Basketball.
