Let me be the first to welcome you to
Pasadena ISD, San Jacinto Intermediate, Bondy Intermediate, Bonnette Jr. High,
Jackson Intermediate, Queens Intermediate, Southmore Intermediate, Thompson
Intermediate, Deer Park Junior High, Keller Middle School, La Porte Junior High
and South Houston Intermediate. The San Jacinto Invitational was created in 2004 to
provide an opportunity for local teams to participate in a competitive
basketball tournament against out of district opponents. During its inaugural year, the tournament
included 8 teams and 12 games over a two day period. As we set to tip off our 18th year of existence, we will have 269 teams from 60 schools in 21 school districts competing in 536 games over the weekends of December 1-2, December 8-9 and
December 15-16. In order for our tournament to continue to be successful,
I wanted to take an opportunity to share a few key points with our spectators.
- Admission—We
will be selling wristbands at each location that will allow you to enter
any of the eleven locations.
Friday admission will be $5.00 and
Saturday admission will be $5.00. Each day will
have a different band and passes will not be accepted. Every team is
guaranteed two games per day. Doors
will open 30
minutes prior
to the first scheduled game at each location. Please do not
attempt to enter the gyms before those times. WE ONLY ACCEPT CASH AT THE DOOR FOR ADMISSION.
- Please
help us keep our gyms clean and enjoy
all food or drinks in the hallway area.
- Please
lead by example and show
good sportsmanship toward the referees. We have
contracted with one of the highest recommended groups in Houston to
provide the best referees possible for our tournaments. We expect our
coaches and players to respect the referees and ask all spectators to lead
by example with their comments and actions toward the referees and
tournament volunteers.
Inappropriate spectators will be asked to leave and not be allowed to
return. Any player that is ejected
will not be able to return for the remainder of the tournament.
- We
will be selling Tournament T-shirts for $15.
Each school will be represented on the shirt.
- Gym
Addresses—WE USE MULTIPLE SCHOOLS TO HOST THIS TOURNAMENT--PLEASE CHECK THE BRACKET FOR
YOUR CORRECT LOCATION.
Thank you in advance for supporting your
teams as they compete in one of
the biggest 7th/8th grade
tournaments in the country.
We are looking forward
to a great weekend of basketball.
Coach Ryan Nygaard
San Jacinto Intermediate
