The participating schools are Benedictine Military School, Calvary Day School, Robert W. Groves High School, Savannah High School, Sol C. Johnson High School, and St. Andrew's School. 

The Savannah Hoops Shootout is a sanctioned GHSA event. Former Sol C. Johnson High School basketball coach Utaff Gordon and Enmarket Arena General Manager Monty Jones Jr created it. The event is designed to promote the local basketball community and provide a platform for student-athletes to showcase their skills in their hometown. 

The Savannah Hoops Shootout is highly anticipated in the Savannah Area and the State of Georgia. It will bring together schools to face one another at Enmarket Arena, showcasing talent from both public and private schools. 

"This is a community collaborative that I've been blessed with being a part of, and I've been able to solicit the help of the Savannah Chatham County public school system in order for us to really make this thing happen and to bring high school basketball into this new venue that we have in Savannah. I am really excited about being part of this, and I know the community will also,"  said Coach Gordon at the SCCPSS Basketball media day event.
