Basketball fans in Camrose will have the opportunity to watch youth from Camrose and the surrounding area in the inaugural Vikings-Cougars Classic Tournament January 13 and 14.
The tournament is co-hosted by Ecole Charlie Killam School and the University of Alberta Augustana Vikings Men's Basketball Team and will feature four divisions of 16 teams from Camrose (including Charlie Killam and Our Lady of Mount Pleasant) and area, such as Bashaw, Forestburg, Tofield and Stettler.
"We are very happy to be working with the Battle River School Division, and especially Mr. Jay Boyson, to offer this tournament," says Augustana Basketball Coach, Dave Drabiuk. "Additionally, none of this would be possible without the passion and dedication of Jr. High Coach, Mr. Jerry Iwanus. We are really happy to be working with the Camrose community to provide an opportunity for these young competitors to gain experience on the court."
The tournament starts on Jan. 13, using both Augustana Campus and Ecole Charlie Killam School Gymnasiums.
