High schools plan boys’ holiday hoops tourney
Published: November 17, 2011
Patch boys’ basketball coach Bill Lassetter has announced his school’s plan to conduct a 12-team pool-play followed by single-elimination boys’ basketball tournament Dec. 27-29.
In a Thursday newsletter, Lassetter said each team in the event, which is to be filled on a first-come, first-served basis, is guaranteed a minimum of four games. The same officials and scorekeepers who work regular-season high school games will work the event, which is sanctioned by DODDS-Europe, but not sponsored by the school system. Participating teams therefore will be responsible for their own transportation and lodging expenses. Free billeting will be available, however.
Entry deadline is Dec. 13. Interested coaches can call Lassetter at DSN 430-7191 or German civ. 0711-682-7191. Commercial callers from outside Germany must drop the initial zero after dialing country code 0049. Lassetter’s email is bill.lassetter@eu.dodea.edu.
