The Columbia Tigers boys basketball team
started the 2002-2003 season with an 8-0 run, the best
start for Tiger Basketball in 8 years. Tiger success
moved the record to 1 0-1 before a mid-season slump
marred the once glossy record. In December the Tiger
cagers finished second in the twelve team Sunshine
Classic in Daytona Beach. The Tigers defeated Louis-
ville Southern and Melbourne en route to the champion-
ship game, the first loss for CHS this season. The
Sunshine Classic field included two teams from Canada, 5
and teams from Kentucky, Mississippi, New York, and
the Bahamma Islands.
Other season highlights included hosting the
Boys District Basketball Tournament in February.
