UPDATE: The Ballard High School alumni three-on-three basketball tournament that was scheduled for May 8 has been cancelled due to a scheduling conflict for the gym within the Seattle School District.
The tournament organizers hope to reschedule the fundraising event for the fall.
Ballard High School is hosting an alumni three-on-three basketball tournament this May as a fundraiser for the class of 2011
"We are looking for any alumni that can still shoot some hoops," said Wendy Cunningham, a tournament organizer. "This is a great event to get a few old friends together to either play – breakout the old high tops – or come and watch while supporting the class of 2011."
Each team of up to four players can be mixed classes and co-ed. Two of the four players must be Ballard High School alumni.
Entry in the tournament is $120 per team. Teams with players from the classes of 2005 to 2009 pay only $100.
Teams must enter by April 23. The entry form can be downloaded with the link on the right or at www.ballardathletics.org.
The tournament begins at 9 a.m. on May 8. The championship game is at 7 p.m.
The winning team gets a trophy and bragging rights for a year.
There is a $5 entry fee for spectators. There will be an after party for anyone 21 or older at BalMar with a suggested donation and drink specials.
The money raised through the tournament will help pay for the class of 2011's senior prom.
Cunningham said the school is hoping to make the three-on-three tournament an annual event.
