Alumni Eve

Sam Nunez ('98) has just arrived after making the three hour trek from Portland.  Paul Swanson and Vesna Sophan ('03) are likely blowing up the cell phones of Adam Moore and Pat Mattson trying to lock down their attendance, ensuring that their class is the legitimate favorite to take home the crown.  Byron Lewellen ('96) has his son rebounding as he pumps up 10,000 jumpers tonight.  The Class of '75 may be  having a slumber party at Screen Printing Northwest as they map out the game plan to beat down the young bucks.    Shean Nasin ('92) is getting in his pre-game stretch right about now, gearing up to show the young kids what a true PG is.  Yes, it's Everett High School Alumni Tourney Eve.

The action starts tomorrow (12/31) at noon.  Because of construction, be sure to enter the gym from the Rockefeller Ave entrance.  While we'll review it before play commences tomorrow, below is the Code of Conduct for the tournament.  It is expected that each participant will follow these guidelines, and will be an example of sportsmanship and brotherhood for alumni and current EHS players alike.  If you have any questions about the Code of Conduct or the tournament, please don't hesitate to contact me at 425.314.7983.

I look forward to seeing you all tomorrow...Go Gulls!

Everett High School Alumni Basketball Tournament

Code of Conduct

Mission Statement - To celebrate and positively promote the legacy and tradition of Everett Seagull basketball through the spirit of competition.

Welcome to the Everett High School Alumni Basketball Tournament! As former Seagull players, it was commonly relayed by our coaches that putting on the uniform and competing was a privilege, not a right. Through this lesson, we've all had experiences that collectively bring us together each New Year's Eve to commemorate the wonderful heritage of Everett High School basketball. To this end, it needs to be understood that our ability to play in this annual tournament is a privilege, not a right. Our behavior not only represents our respective graduating classes, but is on display to the current group of Seagull players who look up to the collective example we're setting. More importantly, with friends, family and children in attendance, it needs to be understood that we need to model exemplary behavior.

With this in mind, we require that each player adhere to the following code of conduct.

Each player shall:

• Display sportsmanship, and agree to compete in a manner that exhibits integrity and honesty.
• Adhere to rule decisions made by tournament organizers.
• Respect and abide by a fellow player or official's decision, and agree to refrain from verbal or physical demonstrations against a decision.
• Abstain from using profanity or other disrespectful language.
• Refrain from using unnecessary rough tactics during game play against an opposing player.
• Demonstrate respect for players, coaches, and fellow alumni.

If any player is found to be in violation of any of the aforementioned requirements, Tournament Organizers will require that the player leave the facility immediately.
