Northern Hoops Classic fundraising for Women’s Resource Society

FORT ST. JOHN, B.C. — The Fort St. John Flight Basketball Club is collecting donations for the Women’s Resource Society this weekend during the Northern Hoops Classic.

The tournament will run from Friday through Sunday at multiple schools. Community members of all ages are invited to spectate by donating one perishable food item for admission.

FSJ Flight Basketball Club president Jessalyn Moskalyk says the tournament will host female and male athletes from the under-13, under-15, and under-17 age categories.

“We have a total of 43 teens coming from all over northern Alberta and northern B.C.,” said Moskalyk.

“There will be games running all weekend long at North Peace Secondary School, Bert Bowes Middle School, and Margaret ‘Ma’ Murray Community School.”

According to Moskalyk, Flight offers competitive and developmental basketball outside of the school season.

“We’ve taken over the Spring league component at the high school in hopes of bringing all basketball together and offering lots of different opportunities to play for the kids,” said Moskalyk.
