The Harrington Invitational is usually one of the top girls prep holiday tournaments to take in.

That remains the case for the 44th edition of the tournament.

Defending champion Williston Northampton is once again one of the top contenders in the NEPSAC. The same goes for perennial power Nobles.

A high-flying St. Paul’s squad will surely be a factor during the weekend, and there’s upset potential with BB&N, Milton Academy and St. Mark’s. Lawrence Academy and Westminster could be tough outs, too.

The action kicks off on Friday, Dec. 19, and runs through Sunday, Dec. 21. Friday and Sunday will be at Nobles, while Saturday will be at Milton
