Important Update for the WPB Tourney

The hotel accommodations for this weekends upcoming tournament has been canceled due to the times and locations of the games.  The van for the 16U team has also been canceled and we will need to coordinate with all the parents driving this weekend so that we can utilize the carpooling option.  The money collected will go toward a van for the 17U team due to the fact we have fewer parents able to drive up for the weekend.  The rest will be used for our future travel accommodations in other tournaments.  

The directions to the gyms as well as the schedules/brackets for both teams will be handed out at practice tomorrow when we all get together to discuss who will be riding with whom.  Below is the link to the tournament information again if you didn't get a chance to look at it the first time.  I look forward to seeing you all at practice and have a great day!  

Look under the Boys Big Shots Tournament.
