Summer basketball tournament season has begun

FROM KEITH GROLLER

Later in this post, I have results from the Patti Heffner Memorial Girls Basketball Tournament held over the weekend at Parkland. Like the Patti Heffner golf tournament that is set for July 1 at Blue Ridge, proceeds from the basketball tournament help to fund the scholarships the Heffner family are giving to deserving female student-athletes at Dieruff, Catasauqua and Parkland. Those three schools, obviously, meant a lot to Patti.

But first I want to get out the schedule for the first of two tournaments set to be held again by Central Catholic and coach Mike Kopp at the Holy Family Gym in Nazareth. These tournaments always offer good competition.

The round-robin tournament begins on Friday and continues through the middle of next week.
