Senior high school basketball returns in the spotlight in High Prairie.
The E.W. Pratt Chargers hosts the 12th annual Tonesha Walker Memorial Basketball Tournament on Dec. 13-14 with games at Pratt, Prairie River Junior High School and St. Andrew’s.
The popular tournament will feature 10 men’s and six women’s teams, says athlete director Larkin Stokes.
“It will be a great weekend of basketball,” Stokes says. “Come out and watch some exciting basketball.”
Games start the first day at 1 p.m. and continue into the evening.
