Ninety-six high school girls’ basketball teams are gathering in San Francisco’s East Bay area for a holiday-week tournament that will feature elite-level competitors from throughout California alongside squads that will be getting their first exposure to “the big-time.”

The 23rd annual West Coast Jamboree takes place Dec. 28–30 in what is loosely defined as the Tri-Valley, a largely upscale suburban expanse that stretches some 40 miles from Livermore to Martinez.
