Week 7
Girls
Tournament Previews
By Aaron Brown
The Week 7 tournament schedule
features six Saturday-only events, mainly due to the Good Friday/Easter
weekend. Here is what to expect from the action, which includes 29 teams
and a grand total of 46 games:
GBN Tournament
Glenbrook North's fourth annual tournament brings back #21 St Viator, #23
LWE, Libertyville, and Resurrection for a ten-game round-robin tournament
that kicks off on Saturday morning. The hosts will look to defend their
title after winning the event last year, while the Griffins will be
looking to reclaim a title they won in 2008 and 2009. St Viator is the
highest ranked team of the group and is coming off a third-place finish at
their own event last weekend, so they will be looking for their first
trophy at GBN in team history.
