Encyclopedia
The Burger King Classic, formerly known as the McDonald's Classic from 1983 to 2010, is a four team boys basketball tournament held every year in Erie, Pennsylvania that highlights some of the best talent the United States has to offer. Ever since it began in 1983, the tournament has been considered one of the best four team tournaments in the country. Eddie Oliver from Hoops USA calls it "the best." Every year, nationally ranked teams with Division I and NBA-bound players travel to snowy Erie to battle it out for the championship and bragging rights as well as the opportunity to play against top talent. Ever since its inauguration, the Classic has hosted over 25 state championship teams and nearly two dozen All-Americans. Hosted by Cathedral Preparatory School

, was used to house the tournament in its earlier years but the location has since been moved to Gannon University
since the late 80's. The Classic takes place at Gannon University's Hammermill Center
each year in mid-January as a weekend event for the four teams competing. It is common to see college scouts from all over the country at the tournament looking for top talent.
Ron Sertz, former Cathedral Prep Athletic Director and a famous Erie sports figure, founded the tournament and ran it for its first 25 years of existence. Upon his retirement, current Cathedral Prep AD Bill Flanagan took over the tournament duties.
The tournament is composed of four teams in a round-robin type format. The host school each year is Cathedral Preparatory School while three other teams come from near or far to compete. Classic teams usually arrive on the Thursday before the tournament begins. Each team is assigned a host from Cathedral Prep who caters to them for the entire day, makes sure they get to meals, and finds places they wish to visit. Each team is given rooms at the Avalon Hotel.
Thursday is usually spent as a time to settle in for each team. On Friday, practices are scheduled by the host for each team to attend. Each practice is held at Cathedral Preparatory School's gymnasium and is usually just a shoot-around for the team. Seeing students from the host school peering into the gym is quite common as they are always excited come Classic time. Friday night at 7:00 PM is when the first round occurs.
On Saturday, teams are allowed to relax. They may schedule a shoot-around at the Prep gymnasium if they wish or they may travel around Erie. The consolation match takes place at 7:00 PM between the two teams who lost the previous night and then the night is highlighted by the Classic Championship at 8:30 PM. After the championship game is decided a presentation ceremony takes place and words are said from the winning coach on the tournament. Sunday morning the teams return to their respected schools.

but back in the 1980s he was known as the man who began the McDonald's Classic. After a year as Athletic Director at Cathedral Prep, he decided to begin a top-level tip-off classic for the community.
This tip-off tournament became the McDonald's Classic in 1983 and brought in three strong teams (Beaver Falls of PA, Bishop Loughlin of Brooklyn, NY, and Roman Catholic of Philadelphia, PA). The tournament was considered a massive success in the Erie area and Bishop Loughlin was crowned as the first Classic Champion by defeating the host Cathedral Prep Ramblers 70-63. Sertz decided to move the tournament into even more prominence and began to work harder and harder on bringing even stronger and more recognized teams every year.
During the 25th anniversary of the Classic in 2008, Sertz announced his retirement as classic director. He was replaced by current Cathedral Prep Athletic Director Bill Flanagan.

but back in the 1980s he was known as the man who began the McDonald's Classic. After a year as Athletic Director at Cathedral Prep, he decided to begin a top-level tip-off classic for the community.
This tip-off tournament became the McDonald's Classic in 1983 and brought in three strong teams (Beaver Falls of PA, Bishop Loughlin of Brooklyn, NY, and Roman Catholic of Philadelphia, PA). The tournament was considered a massive success in the Erie area and Bishop Loughlin was crowned as the first Classic Champion by defeating the host Cathedral Prep Ramblers 70-63. Sertz decided to move the tournament into even more prominence and began to work harder and harder on bringing even stronger and more recognized teams every year.
During the 25th anniversary of the Classic in 2008, Sertz announced his retirement as classic director. He was replaced by current Cathedral Prep Athletic Director Bill Flanagan.
