Piggly Wiggly Roundball Classic
Monday through Wednesday, Dec. 28, 29 & 30, 2009
The plans for the 2009 Piggly Wiggly Roundball Classic basketball tournament are in the final stages! The Roundball Classic is a joint program of Communities In Schools of the Charleston Area, Inc. and the North Charleston Rotary Club. This annual holiday basketball tournament features local and out-of-state high school teams and is currently sponsored by Piggly Wiggly. The event supports Communities In Schools and the North Charleston Rotary Club scholarship program, both of which help many students in the Charleston area stay in school and further their educations.
This year there will be 16 teams and 24 games. Starting at 10 am, eight games are held each day over a three day period: Monday, December 28th, through Wednesday, December 30th. Participating in this year's tournament are ten South Carolina teams, five out-of-state teams, and one international team – the Sturt Sabres Varsity team from Adelaide, South Australia.
Piggly Wiggly Carolina Company is the major tournament sponsor for the 5th year. Their support and participation is recognized as a significant factor in the success and growth of the tournament.
