Invitation

Be the first dude/dudette to ever take home the coveted Gus Macker trophy in the state of North Carolina. Yup. That. Just. Happened. The fabulous Gus Macker 3 on 3 basketball tournament has finally made it’s way to the Tar Heel state, more specifically, to a little town called Huntersville. On August 27 and 28, everyone from spritely young bucks to saggy old men/women are welcome to take part in this friendly competition.

This will all be for a very good cause: molding the minds and nourishing the spirits of our country’s future female leaders through a program called Young Elites.
