Canton Tournament Trivia:

The 2010 consolation trophy was won by Canton which was made even more remarkable given the fact they entered the tournament with an 0-8 record.

Canton returned to the tournament in 2009 after spending the previous two holiday seasons at the Charleston tournament. The Little Giants won the title that year.

In winning the 2009 title, Canton was the first #1 seed to earn a championship since Macomb did so in 2005.

Jordan Fouts was named MVP of the 2009 tournament.

Wes Emberton was the 2003 tournament MVP and the only Little Giant to be named to the all-tournament team that year.

Canton has appeared in 119 tournament games. Only Macomb (150) and Pittsfield (131) have played more M-WHT contests through the years.

Shannon Pritchard was the 1986 Tourney MVP.

Alex Henseler made 30 free throws during the 1970 tournament which stands today as a record.

In 1979, Canton set a tournament record when they made 36 free throws in a game.
