LOWER LAKE, Calif. – On Saturday, March 16, come to Lower Lake High School's main gym to watch the seventh and eighth graders from around the lake take part in Konocti Basketball League's Lake County All-Stars Tournament.
The tournament takes place from 8 a.m. to 9 p.m. at the gym, located at 9430 Lake St.
The finals will be played at 5 p.m.
Entry fees are $5 for adults, $3 for students and free for under age 4.
Food and beverages will be available for purchase throughout the tournament. All proceeds will go directly to KBL to support the continuation of their enormous efforts in our community.
Last week for the fifth and sixth grade All Stars Tournament, 16 All Star Teams from around the lake and from as far away as Santa Rosa battled it out for the top seed.
When all was done, the fifth grade boys from Lakeport, fifth grade girls from KBL, sixth grade boys from Santa Rosa and the sixth grade girls from Middletown were winners in their respective categories.
Everyone had fun including those who took part in the halftime shoot-out contests.
Thank you to all the volunteers who have made this possible and to all the players and coaches who took part in the tournament. Without your dedication, KBL would not be the success that it is in the community.
A big thanks to all the fans, which includes all the parents, who have come out to support the youth and KBL.
This is the last weekend of competition for the season, so don't miss out. Bring the family, bring a friend and come on down and watch Lake County's youth play their best.

UKIAH, Calif. – The Mendocino College women’s soccer team rounded out the year with not one but two major accomplishments.
In January, the team was honored as the California Community College Athletic Associations’ Scholar Team for 2011 and they won the Bay Valley Women’s Soccer League Championship for the first time in program history.
The Scholar Team Award is the highest academic team achievement given annually by the California Community College Athletic Association.
All team members must have excelled academically with a total GPA of 3.0 or higher and the team has demonstrated better than average accomplishments in intercollegiate athletic competition.
“Our student-athletes earned on average a 3.23 grade point average during their season of sport. The coaching staff are very proud of these young ladies and we believe that they represent our women's team, athletic department, Mendocino College, and our wonderful community with tremendous pride and respect,” said Coach Shane Huff.
Mendocino College Athletic Director Mike Mari had a similar reaction.
“We are delighted with the news of the soccer teams Scholar Award for 2011 and their winning the Bay Valley League Championship for the first time ever,” Mari said. “Winning the team and individual Scholar Award is not new to Mendocino College having won in 2010 for Softball and 2004 for Football and Volleyball. Having programs receive this type of recognition only reinforces the efforts our student-athletes, coaches, faculty, and staff have made to create a successful environment for our students to succeed.”
