You may have noticed our new feature in the paper called Tournament Corner, where we highlight local tournaments and showcases that are coming up. I’ll also be posting this on the blog once a week as its continually updated when we receive tournament brackets from coaches. We hope this becomes a great place to visit to find out about local tournaments. On Saturday, you’ll be able to catch me at the championship game of the Chris Vontoure Spartan Classic at De La Salle, which features a pretty nice field of teams. Enjoy.
