Tournaments could be found at most of the local schools this past week with basketball being played at Lewiston Altura gymnasiums with the LA Hoop Tournaments and at St. John’s the Bounce Off Tournament.
St. John’s coach Matt Essig shared, “Our team did very well this weekend. Playing hard and bringing an exciting game to the floor. The athletes from across the area came in to play some good games and the court was a busy place throughout the two-day weekend.”
One spectator from Caledonia shared, “The tournaments sure keep our young athletes busy and they learn so many skills and techniques. They learn to play the game and good sportsmanship. Each week they build up on the next. It’s really fun to watch them have such a great time. They are out there really having fun and that’s important too as well as building up all those skills..”
