LITTLE CYPRESS – Little Cypress-Mauriceville’s boys hoop team will be hosting a superb LC-M/International Paper Basketball Tournament Thursday and Friday.

The games will be held in both gyms.

“It is a great way to end the non-district part of our season and same thing for everyone else participating,” said LC-M coach Brad Jeffcoat. ‘We also have several freshmen and junior varsity teams playing, which is great thing too.”

Varsity teams in the tournament include the host Bears, Bridge City, Hardin-Jefferson, Buna, Tarkington, Barbers Hill, Pollok Central and a team even from Australia.

“It’s going to be great to have the Australian kids here and we’re looking forward to playing generous hosts and let them enjoy their stay,” said Jeffcoat. “There are some good teams for sure. We’re looking forward to playing Hardin-Jefferson for the third time this season. Everyone is getting four games. It will be good for us, especially with district starting against Bridge City next week.”
