On Friday, March 18th, March Madness will hit the FAHS gym. The Fleetwood Olympians Club is holding a basketball tournament for high school students. This is the third tournament in the club’s saga, and the money raised will yet again benefit the weight room at the high school.
The 18th is a half day, so games will begin immediately after school at 12:30 p.m. The entire event will be organized by physical education teachers Susan Cammauf and Amy Barnett.
The teams will be 3-on-3 with a maximum of 5 people on a team, substitutions are allowed. Each team must have at least one female athlete. The cost for having a team is $5.00 per person, and each team is encouraged to create personalized uniforms.
The competition will be a double elimination tournament with a minimum of four games guaranteed to each participating team. Warm-up time will be permitted before the start of the tournament. By also using the auxiliary gym, up to six games will be occurring simultaneously. Each round will be ten minutes long.
In the event of a tie, there will be a one minute sudden death match. If there is still no basket made, a competition of foul shots will determine the winner. At the end of the tournament, the final champions will play the faculty team.
The games should be very entertaining for spectators as well. Admission will be just $1.00. Food and drinks, including pizza, will also be available at the tournament.
“I want to see you there, so bring it!” said Cammauf.
The Olympians Club greatly appreciates any donations offered for the tournament. If you have any questions or would like to know more about the tournament, please contact Mrs. Cammauf or Ms. Barnett.
