Lackawanna County 3 On 3 Basketball Tourney Slated For Downtown Scranton

The heart of downtown Scranton will be the basketball center of the northeast when Lackawanna County hosts its annual 3 on 3 tournament on July 28, 29 and 30.

The games will be played on the 100-200 blocks on Wyoming Avenue.  Boys and girls will play Friday and Saturday.  Sunday has been reserved as the rain date.

The action “tips-off” on Friday at 5 P.M.  Games on Saturday will run from 9 AM – 7 PM.  Sunday’s action, if necessary, will start at 9 AM and run through completion.

Players of all skill levels and ages are encouraged and invited to participate. The registration deadline is Monday, July 24. The entry fees per team are: $90 for Youth, $110 for Adults, based on a five-man roster.  T-shirts will be given to all participating players, and all teams are guaranteed a three-game minimum. Checks or money orders should be made payable to “LCCVB” – the Lackawanna County Convention & Visitors Bureau.

Once again, a portion of the tournament’s proceeds will benefit Lackawanna County high school basketball programs and NEPA Coaches vs. Cancer.

The Lackawanna/Susquehanna Office of Drug & Alcohol Programs will be on site providing a variety of information and resources.  Its message for the weekend will involve discussing the perils of drugs and alcohol abuse.  The department will take team pictures free-of-charge at an on-site photo booth.  The pictures will feature a message about being drug and alcohol free.
