Hello Everyone,<\/p>\n
On Tuesday, February 26th at the Athletic Center, the 12th annual Muji Muhammad 3-on-3 basketball tournament will be held.\u00a0 Play will begin at 2:00 p.m.\u00a0 Over the years, the \u201cMuji\u201d has been a competitive and fun tournament and a great way to bridge the gap between the winter sports season and spring break.<\/p>\n
A little bit of history: Muji Muhammad was post-graduate student from Boston during the 2001-2002 school year, and he and Mr. Dietrich (who worked in the admissions office) brought the idea for a co-ed, 3-on-3 tournament to Williston from their previous school, Nobles.\u00a0 Even after Muji graduated, we kept the tournament going and named it in his honor.\u00a0 For years, Jeremy Deason, middle school teacher and boys\u2019 basketball coach, ran the tournament.\u00a0 After he left Williston to become the athletic director at Stoneleigh Burnham a few years back, Mr. Kudla and I have had the pleasure of organizing this event.<\/p>\n
Who can play?\u00a0 Anyone in the Williston community.\u00a0 Here are the rules: teams must be co-ed, and a team cannot have more than one varsity basketball player (male or female) or more than one adult on it.<\/p>\n
Sign-ups: Email your team to me by 5:00 p.m. on Thursday, February 21st.\u00a0 Let me know which player is the Team Captain and know that we will be using a regulation girls\u2019 basketball for the tourney.\u00a0 Mr. Kudla and I and a top-secret committee will meet in a top-secret location the night of February 21st to make up the tournament bracket.<\/p>\n
T-Shirts!\u00a0 You can order your Muji 12 t-shirts during lunch (or on the English floor) this week.\u00a0 Half of the proceeds from t-shirt sales will help defray the costs of the baseball team\u2019s 2014 spring break trip to Florida and the other half will be given to charity.<\/p>\n
Questions: If you have any questions, please talk to me on campus or email me.<\/p>\n
Looking forward to another great year.\u00a0 See you on February 26th!<\/p>\n
All My Best,
