WELCOME TO THE 5TH ANNUAL FALCON CLASSIC

A Little Small Town Community Charm, A Lot of Competition

“Love that journey for you.”

Hello, everyone!

We are absolutely thrilled to welcome you to the 5th Annual Falcon Classic! Join us for a weekend of great competition, good friends, and just the right amount of small town drama.

Whether you’ve been part of the Falcon Classic family from the beginning or this is your first visit, we are so excited to have you. We promise a tournament with plenty of hospitality, a little bit of chaos, and an experience that will hopefully leave you saying, “Love that journey for me.”

YOUR ROOM IS READY AT THE ROSEBUD

If you have not attended our tournament before, please note our new location:

18701 Jim Line Road
Amarillo, Texas 79124

IMPORTANT: Do NOT put “Bushland High School” into your maps app! It will take you to our old high school, which is now the junior high.

Instead, drive past the old high school and continue toward the football stadium. Turn right after the stadium onto Jim Line Road, and you will find our new high school.

Consider it your first test of the weekend: Can you find the new building without David Rose-level navigation?
