West Bladen High School would like to announce the return of the ninth annual Bladen Offroad Christmas Tournament at West Bladen on December 28, 29, and 30 with Bladen Offroad coming on board as the new title sponsor.
Scott Gordon, owner of Bladen Offroad, had this to say about the event. “Bladen Offroad is proud to be associated with this great event. For a number of years West Bladen has provided a quality high school tournament here in southeastern North Carolina… Our sponsorship of this tournament is one of many ways that we give back to our community.”
Through the years this annual tournament has boasted many great teams and future college players. This year proves to be no exception. Laney, Pamlico, Whiteville, West Columbus, Dillon Christian, St. Pauls, Pinecrest, and host West Bladen will be this year’s participants. Remarkably, each of these teams are expected to contend for the top spot in their respective conferences.
Games will start each day at 2, 4, 6, and 8 with the gate opening at 1. Admission will be $6 with no passes out. Only NCHSAA passes (coaches, referees, and officials) will be allowed. Concessions will be available for purchase.
