Joseph V. Sowmick - August 13, 2015
In an effort to provide bonus coverage, Team Observer takes to the court with the Saginaw Chippewa Recreation Department for their annual three-on three double elimination basketball tournament held at the Tribal Operations parking lot on August 12. The “RezBall 2015” event brought plenty of action both on and off the court as participants competed for trophies and Rez street cred.
“We had four courts of action going for most of the afternoon,” Recreation Department Organized Sports Specialist Lindsey Sprague informs. “We appreciate the community coming out to support us and it was great to see the Tribal Ops employees and Tribal Council coming out to watch some of the competition.”
