This year, five of the eight teams will be Jesuit schools including Strake Jesuit (Houston, Texas), Loyola High (Los Angeles, Calif.), and Bellarmine (San Jose, Calif.). The other three teams will be Cathedral Catholic (San Diego, Calif.), perennial Northern California contender Archbishop Mitty (San Jose, Calif.), and St. Mary’s (Stockton, Calif.) which is the only other team besides Jesuit to have competed in the Fr. Barry Classic each year since it began in 1974.

The games will be available on live stream on YouTube via NorCal SportsTV. Brophy opens against Bellarmine (San Jose, CA) on Thursday, December 7th at 8 p.m. (( p.m. in Arizona).
