Five teams of former Rhinelander High School boys' basketball players returned home Saturday, Dec. 23 for the 16th annual Russ Johnson Memorial Alumni Basketball Tournament at the Jim Miazga Community Gymnasium.

While the vast majority of the players who participate graduated in the 2000s, alumni from as far back as the Class of 1979 participated.

In the end, the Class of 2013 team won the tournament. It was one of three teams that went 3-1 in pool play. The Class of 2013 and the Class of 2009 beat out the Class of 2016 in a free throw contest to determine which two teams would advance to the championship game, which the Class of 2013 won 36-29.

Tournament organizers would like to thank the Johnson family for providing water, Gatorade and granola bars for the players, Metro Screenprinting for the championship T-shirts, the alumni, fans and volunteers who took part in the tournament, the School District of Rhinelander for the use of the Miazga Gym and Bucketheads for the after-tournament party.
