submitted to EFP

Last week, Essex District High school hosted its 30th annual Red Raider Rebound tournament for elementary school-aged athletes.

  This local tournament is often looked at as a competition schools want to win. It is also an important opportunity for local youth to show off the on-court skills they developed this season.

  In addition, the tournament always attracts a big crowd. Of those who come out for the event, many use the tournament as mini school reunion as former players came to watch their sons and daughters play.

  In the girls’ division. Amherst Public (Consolation Champions) defeated Essex Public, 22-19. Kingsville defeated Sandwich (finalist), 29-25, to earn first place.

  In the boys’ division, Gosfield defeated Lasalle, 54-32, to become the Consolation champs. Belle River Public defeated Kingsville Public, 32-24, to become the championship team.
