The annual Hoops for Heart basketball tournament is set to happen after school on Wednesday, March 13 after school in both gyms at Wethersfield High School.

Hoops for Heart is a double elimination 3v3 basketball tournament with a winners and a losers bracket. The cost per player is $5.

The competition level will be very high and students are looking to take over the teachers success. A team of three students is out there trying to take over the big three of teachers, who have won the tournament three years in a row.

Head of Student Council and Physical Education teacher, Mr. Richard Scopetto, said that all the proceeds go to a good cause.

¨All the proceeds will go out to the American Heart Association. The number one cause of death in the United States is heart disease,¨ Scopetto said.

Although this tournament is for a good cause, don’t be fooled! There has been trash talking going on around the school, whether it is between students, or even students and their teachers. This tournament is meant for people to just come out and have a good time, as Sco said.

¨It's a good cause number one, but it's also a good chance for people to get together and have a good time in spite of the cause.¨

People can come out and take the focus off of their problems, and just play ball and compete for a few hours, and bring your talking and prove it on the court.

You can talk all you want, but your game on the court will do all the talking for you once the stage is set, and that's exactly how Sco explained it.

¨There's a lot of ya ya, at the end of the game there is no more ya ya, you can't talk bad to kids that beat you in the previous game!¨

If you are not coming out to play, make sure you come out and support the teams vying for the win this year.

Eagle Nation is excited for this tournament, and everyone is anxious to finally find out who will come out on top.
