Holiday tournaments and invitationals passed out plenty of hardware to Michiana teams on Saturday. Here’s a recap.

Elkhart may be the most surprising champion of the day.

Marvin Schindler scored his 1000th career point, as Riley downed Pike, 71-67, at the Paul Loggan North Central Tourney.

4A Fourth-ranked Warsaw suffered a pair of losses at the Hall of Fame Tournament in New Castle.

10th-ranked Northridge reigns as champions of the Interra Classic in Middlebury. Lily School earned tourney MVP honors with a 28-point performance in a 54-53 overtime win over Penn. In that game, Kingsmen sharpshooter Jessa Troy eclipsed the 1000-point mark of her career.

Class 1A 3rd-ranked Marquette Catholic lost a heartbreaker at the Brebeuf Classic, losing to the host school in overtime of the title game, 51-47. Laniah Davis scored 30 for the Blazers, but Brebeuf was 7-of-7 from three-point range in the second half.
