EHS Alumni Tournament - Holiday Update

Happy holidays to everyone!  With the 2014 Alumni Tourney only 6 days away, here are some pertinent and timely informational hits that should help feed your basketball fix between now and Wednesday the 31st.

* Coming off of a pre-Christmas 70-66 non-conference victory over Interlake, the EHS varsity boys team has a rare Saturday afternoon home game tomorrow against the Metro League's Nathan Hale HS.  If you haven't had a chance to see this year's squad in action, grab some lunch and make your way by the Pit for some holiday hoops.  It's also worth noting the the EHS girls team will conclude their non-conference schedule with an afternoon clash of their own next Tuesday (December 30th) at 3pm.  Fill your hoop fix by supporting the Gulls!

* The logo for this year's Tourney t-shirt is pasted below:

Much thanks to H&L Sports and Screen Printing NW for the donation of the t-shirts and screen printing, respectively.  All participants will receive a t-shirt by contributing the suggested participation donation of $10 at the Tournament registration booth prior to the start of the Tourney.  All proceeds will benefit the Everett AAU youth program, and will ensure that no financial barriers exist for participating athletes from low-income households.  I'll have more on this tomorrow.

* Again, the 2014 Alumni Tournament is Wednesday, December 31st at 12pm at Everett High.  Please enter the gym from either the "School of Champions" entrance at the north parking lot, or the Rockefeller ground level entrance.  The gym will be opened up at 11:00am for alumni and their respective family and friends to watch the boys teams' practice, which should conclude by 11:45am.  Registration for the Tournament will commence at 11:45am.  Please be signed in by 12pm, as we would like to get the Tournament started by 12:15pm.

* Light concessions (pizza, water, and Gatorade) will be available for purchase throughout the event. Additionally, Everett High Blue & Gold will have their memorabilia store open from 12-1pm, so if you need a new Seagull hat, t-shirt, sweatshirt, or any other swag items available for purchase, you'll be able to do so.

We'll have daily blasts from now until the 31st, so please pass along all information to fellow alums, family, and friends that you think would have an interest in participating or watching the event.  See you all next Thursday!
