CHUCK Grimes, a former 15-year director of the Elementary Basketball League, knew that some people weren?t so happy that a league aimed at developing skills culminated in a pressure-filled tournament that leads to the ?Super Saturday? final four.
?There were folks who didn?t like the league because of its competitive nature,? Grimes said. ?But those people were quiet on Wednesdays (during the regular season) when the gyms were packed.?
Once again, the league is conducting a tournament that will attract a large number of basketball fans in the community to Columbus North High School.
They will watch fifth- and sixth-graders, both boys and girls, vie for a title Saturday. The boys championship game begins at 6?p.m., and the girls title contest follows at 7:30.
