By Tim Brennan Staff Writer SALISBURY -- In six days the basketball will be tossed in the air at the Wicomico Youth and Civic Center, and it will be in near constant motion for four days of action at the 2006 Lions Club Holiday Classic. When things finally come to rest, six championship will be crowned, with the last one being either Gwynn Park, Our Lady of Good Counsel, Archbishop Spalding or Thomas Jefferson. The four schools will be playing in the National Cup, possibly the premiere bracket of the event. ADVERTISEMENT The championship will be staged next Saturday, tipping off at 9 p.m. "We look forward to playing good competition because it only makes us better," Good Councel coach Mike Hibbs said. "It lets us know what we need to do to get better and offers another challenge for us to get ready for our league." Three of the schools will come from across the bridge in Maryland, while Thomas Jefferson will be making the trip from Brooklyn, N.Y. A team that has been steeped in tradition, the Orange Wave has been down in recent years, and is looking to get back on top, led by senior center Kristin Joyner. "Jefferson was always competitive through the years, and they fell into the cellar," Thomas Jefferson third-year coach Lawrence Pollard said. "(Our players) don't really know the history, but what they do know now is that we've got a lot of young guys and they want to kind of be the ones to re-establish the program as one of the elite teams in the city and I think we're well on our way to doing that." Thomas Jefferson will face Gwynn Park in the first round, and should the teams come together in either the championship or consolation game, a Gwynn Park-Archbishop Spalding meeting would be a reunion. Gwynn Park coach Mike Glick is in his first season leading the Yellow Jackets after coaching Spalding for seven seasons. "I kind of look at taking it one game at a time," Glick said. "It would be a little special to play Spalding because I have a really good report and relationship with all of my players. It would be great to play against them." Glick is leading a program that has had a great deal of recent success as Gwynn Park has advanced to four 3A state championship games in the last eight seasons. The teams in the National Cup bracket look to change up their styles of play, able to run or play a half-court set and with a number of young playersthey are still trying to come together as a team. "At times we do get a little erratic, because we do have a freshman point guard who's starting for us," Hibbs said. "We have some inexperience in the backcourt and that's caused some trouble at the end of games." On of the young players making his impact felt early is a 6-foot-5 Thomas Jefferson freshman Joel Wright. He is averaging 15 points and 15 rebounds through his team's first six games and may be the difference in the National Cup.
