The Fairfield Local High School Athletic Department is pleased to be hosting the second annual Chad Hodson Classic Presented by RoofX on Saturday, Jan. 6, 2024. 

The inaugural Chad Hodson Classic in 2023 was an undeniable success with five varsity games and over $4,000 raised to benefit the Chad Hodson Memorial Scholarship.

The Chad Hodson Classic was started to honor the life and memory of 1998 Fairfield High School graduate and former Lions coach Chad Hodson, who passed away in 2019 after a courageous battle with lung cancer. A portion of the proceeds from the Classic will be given to the Chad Hodson Memorial Scholarship, which will be annually presented to a Fairfield senior in Hodson’s memory. 

The Chad Hodson Classic will feature six varsity basketball games that will take place in Grandle Gymnasium on the campus of Fairfield High School. Games will feature the five Highland County high schools battling teams from across the area. Teams featured in the Classic include storied programs with multiple state tournament appearances.
