The varsity boys basketball team has been invited to play in The Throne National Championship Tournament. According to TheThroneHoops.com, "Gold Level Sports & Entertainment and the National Basketball Players Association (NBPA) have teamed up to create, The Throne, a one-of-a-kind platform bringing a bracket-style basketball tournament to the high school ranks. As a four-day single-elimination basketball tournament, The Throne will bring together sixteen of the most prestigious boys basketball clubs to compete in a bracket-style format. By partnering with the NBPA and THINK450, the NBPA’s business development and innovation arm, The Throne will be curated with the support and expertise of current NBPA members, creating an event for the players, by the players.”

OHSAA rules prohibit Ohio High School teams from playing in an event like this so the Elks have to compete as a Club team so we will compete as "The Ville". The roster will include 6 seniors and 3 underclassmen so that we do not break any rules with respect to the number of players from the same school on the same team. The seniors no longer count towards that number since their eligibility is now over. The Elks will play Beaumont Elite, TX on March 29th at 3 pm.

All games from this tournament are streamed on NBATV, Fox Sports 1 or Fox.
