WINONA LAKE – On Saturday, CASA of Kosciusko County held its second annual 3-on-3 Hoopfest Tournament. The basketball event took place at the Gordon Rec Center on the Grace College campus. This year CASA added more divisions and incorporated pool play prior to the tournament so teams were guaranteed more game play. The tournament took place from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m., with a break at noon for the 3-point shoot-out competition. There were two divisions for the shootout. For the younger division, the winner was Jeremy Ryman, Warsaw, and the winner of the adult division was Matt Dick, Warsaw. Both received gift cards to Nike®. Event sponsor was Silveus Insurance Group. Due to the generosity of Silveus Insurance Group and the court sponsors, the event grossed $18,000 and that all of the registration fees went directly to CASA’s work advocating for children in our county. CASA uses volunteer advocates to represent the best interest of youth entangled in the court system as a result of abuse and/or neglect or children caught in the middle of volatile custody disputes. CASA volunteers currently serve as the voice for over 100 children in the community. To learn more about CASA, visit CASAchildren.com or call 574-372-2401.
