The 2024 McCallie-Dr Pepper Classic is a showcase of some of the best high school basketball talent and teams in Tennessee and the nation. But it is always more than that.

The basketball event brings together the community for two days of entertainment featuring an impactful luncheon with a prominent guest speaker, a nationally-ranked team, four highly-competitive squads, a dunk contest, and a three-point shooting contest all typically before standing-room-only crowds.

The Ninth Annual Dr Pepper Classic is February 2-3 and promises to be one of the best.

Can't wait to see you there!

Luncheon Speaker

Darryl Strawberry

Darryl Strawberry is described as a legend by many who have been dazzled by the dynamics of his game, the power he possessed at the plate and the story of redemption that continues to bring hope to so many lives. He has earned the legendary nicknames and phrases of one of the most feared home run hitters in the game of baseball: "Straw's Sweet Swing," "Strawberry's Field Forever," and "The Legendary Straw Man!" Today, Strawberry's passion is using his story to change the lives of others, whether he is speaking about cancer survival, those afflicted and affected by autism, overcoming addiction, or his faith in God. In his New York Times best-selling memoir, Straw: Finding My Way (Ecco), he shares his whole story from growing up in Crenshaw, Los Angeles, his rise to baseball superstardom as a Met, Dodger, and Yankee, his public and private struggles with addiction, his triumphant battle over cancer, his religious awakening, and his marriage to the love of his life, Tracy Strawberry.
