Dennis Doyle 3-on-3 Classic District 88 Foundation Basketball Tournament
What: The 3-on-3 basketball tournament takes place in memory of Willowbrook staff member Dennis Doyle, who passed away in 2011. Doyle came to Willowbrook in 1994, after several years of coaching basketball. He was the Head Basketball Coach from 1994 to 2006, as well as a Guidance Counselor. Doyle believed each person should have a passion and must compete each day to achieve his or her goals. For those who had the opportunity to know Coach Doyle, he truly was a Willowbrook Warrior in every sense of the word.
