2023 – 20th Essex Annual Summer League


Well let’s go then!

The 20th annual Essex Summer League is here and it’s going to be bigger and better than ever! Held at Essex High School, home of the Hornets, this year’s tournament features eight of some of the best teams from Vermont.

Essex High School, South Burlington Wolves, Harwood Highlanders, CVU Redhawks, Colchester Lakers, St. Albans Bobwhites, Mt. Mansfield Cougars, and Milton Yellow Jackets will be competing in this year’s tournament. With such a diverse mix of schools, the tournament promises to be an exciting showcase of Vermont’s basketball talent.

Main billing? On June 26th, state champions CVU Redhawks will square off against the Milton Yellow Jackets at 7 pm. This will be the public’s first look at the champs without the firepower of their graduating class. It’s sure to be a thrilling game that you won’t want to miss.

However, this year marks the first time since the tournament’s inauguration that the Burlington Seahorses will not be competing. Last year, the Seahorses had a season that didn’t match expectations for the program.

It’s way too early to make any predictions for the 2023 season, but the 20th Essex Tournament will be a great measuring stick. So come on out and support your favorite team, and let’s make this the best tournament yet!
