There will be plenty of boys basketball action this weekend, as Peacock will host their second annual Helping Hoops tournament Friday and Saturday.
The first edition of the event took place last December and saw the Toilers donate half their weekend gate to Extendicare, which went to the purchase of a new bench outside the local long-term care facility.
The beneficiaries this year will be Wakamow Valley.
Both the Toilers and Vanier Vikings will be in action during the eight-team tournament, with Peacok opening against Regina Johnson at 5 p.m. and Vanier duelling Balgonie Greenall at 5:30 p.m. The tournament consolation final and third-place game go at 3:30 p.m. Saturday, with the gold medal final set for 5 p.m.
