The Manchester Girls basketball program is holding a 5th and 6th grade girls basketball tournament on Saturday, January 7th as a fundraiser. The funds raised will go to help cover the mandatory $6,000 the Middle School and High School basket ball teams are required to raise this year.

In addition to a Manchester 6th grade team playing in the tournament, teams from Chelsea, Grass Lake, Napoleon, Western, Michigan Center, and East Jackson will be playing. The high school players help referee, keep score, run the clock, take admission, run the concession stand, clean up and set up.

The tournament games will be held at High School and Middle School. Beginning at 9am. The admission fee is $2 per person.
