Tournament time

The annual Granite City Holiday Classic, featuring 14 games altogether, is coming tomorrow and Saturday in St. Cloud. From what I see, advance tickets are not available.

Day one has the Jaguars boys' basketball team playing Sartell-St. Stephen (5-2, 3-1 Central Lakes Conference) at the St. Cloud Apollo high school at 12:30pm. Earlier in the day, the JV Jaguars play Big Lake at the same location at 8:00am.

Day two is the big one, with the Jaguars facing #1-ranked Class AAAA Apple Valley at 8:30pm at Halenbeck Hall at SCSU. Their feature player is 6'2" Tyus Jones, who has signed with Division I powerhouse Duke.

Yes, I'll be blogging at both games.
