The annual Intramural Basketball Tournament sponsored by Ava High School National Honor Society will begin Thursday, March 10, with games continuing March 11-12, and March 15.
The third and fourth grade games will be played in the middle school gym beginning at 5:30 p.m. Fifth and sixth grade games will take place in the high school gym, and start at 5:45 p.m.
Since games overlap, spectators will need to check bracket starting times and locations. Brackets were given to players Saturday, Feb. 26., however, copies will be available in each building in the office.
Thirty teams from the two grade divisions, grades three and four; and grades five and six, will compete for first place medals.
Team pictures will be taken prior to the first tournament game, so students must be on site 30 minutes prior to game time.
Admission is $2.50 for adults and $1 for school age children/students; district passes, senior citizen passes and student activity passes will not be honored as all proceeds benefit the National Honor Society’s Tracy Murphy Memorial Scholarship Fund. Each spring the club honors the memory of Tracy Murphy by awarding scholarships.
During the last 21 years, the Ava NHS Chapter has awarded $46,000 in scholarships to NHS members.
