Glenbard South will be traveling to Millington, Tennessee to play in the U.S.A Classic. It's a 16 team tournament with some great competition. We open with Yucaipa H.S. from California. They were nationally ranked near the beginning of last spring.
As for the cost. We have rooms at a nice Hotel for 5 nights (8 rooms) which will cost us about $4200.00. We fundraise for that. We take the 2 school mini buses and the school picks up the tab for the gas. The parents pay $50 which will get there kid $10 per day for meals although most of their meals get payed for by the parents who chip in down there and grill out and all. And they have a continental breakfast at the Hotel. We have been going south for the past 17 years between the 2 schools Ive been coaching at. We did southern illinois, Louisville and now Millington/Memphis. You dont have to be rich to pull this off. Just organized. I strongly recommend it for any program. the kids seem to bond on the trip and we usually come back from the trip and get hot at the beginning of our conference schedule due to the competition we face beforehand.
