Week 6
Girls
Tournament Previews
By Aaron Brown
There are seven girls tournaments to keep an eye on this week, with a
total of 33 Illinois teams in action. Plus, one team travels to Michigan for a
tourney and Stevenson welcomes four teams from the the Great Lake State. Here is
what to look for when the action kicks off at 4:30pm on Friday and rolling on
until around 6:00pm on Saturday night:
Jenison Tournament
The undefeated Redhawks will look to repeat as Jenison Tournament
champions when they travel north to Michigan on Friday. Central went 4-0
last year at the event, beating Ann Arbor Pioneer for the title. They open
with West Ottawa on Friday night and play Zeeland on Saturday in the
preliminary rounds. The tournament includes top ten teams #6 Pioneer, #8
Jenison, and #9 East Kentwood.
