Lions Swim Team Hosts 3 0n 3 Tourney

 

April 19, 2023

The Chinook Lions Swim Team put on yet another spectacular 'Spring into Basketball' 3 on 3 Tournament this past Sunday at the Chinook High School Gymnasium.

More that 200 athletes filled out the rosters for 43 boys and girls teams that competed in multiple divisions. At the end of the day champions were crowned for the 3rd/4th grade boys and girls, 5th grade girls, 5th and 6th boys.

The stands were filled on both sides as parents, friends and family watched the action. A large contingent of Chinook High School and alumni students that all at one point swam for the Lions Swim team joined a number of dedicated parents and volunteers to host the event.

Event organizer, Celeste Elliot was amazed by the days action, "I'm always amazed how crazy busy the gym is during this tournament. It's a fun environment. Everywhere you look there are youth basketball players, fans, coaches, and volunteers."

Elliot was happy with the numbers,

"There were 43 teams from all over the region registered to play. Credit for a smooth running tournament goes to our volunteers. Many of them have been volunteering every year since they played in this tournament."

It takes a committed effort to make it happen, "It's a long day, and they know that. They (volunteers) show up anyway. Parent volunteers watching over and directing various aspects of the tournament are critical and can't be thanked enough. It is humbling to stand back and watch everyone in their roles. They do a great job! A huge thank you also goes out to all our local teams for supporting this tournament. It really is a community effort."
