King’s Fork High School will host a two-day holiday tournament that will include four games for fans to enjoy.
Two Suffolk boys’ basketball teams will be a part of the King’s Fork holiday tournament. The Bulldogs will host Grafton High School of Yorktown. Nansemond River’s boys’ basketball team will host Armstrong High School of Richmond.
The tournament will feature only those four teams. Winners of the two games on the first day will play in a championship game the next day. The two losers of the first day will play in a third-place consolation game the next day.
Nansemond River has just one win for the season and will be going up against a solid Armstrong team that sits at 4-3.
“They are a high-energy team and a big team,” Warriors coach Ed Young said. “They’ll be a tough test for us.”
King’s Fork will hosting a Grafton team that is 8-2. Grafton is coming off of its second loss of the season. The Bulldogs are 6-2, so the game should be a high-intensity one.
Games start at 6 p.m. Admission will be $8 for adults and $4 for kids.
