High school basketball fans will be treated to an early Christmas present this year.

That's because the 2012 Missouri National Guard Shootout is set to take place Dec. 22 at Fleming Fieldhouse, a showcase of strong hoops programs around the area.

Three marquee boys' matchups are on tap - Chamois against New Bloomfield, Hermann against California and Southern Boone against Fatima.
