The 2011 Rose City Showcase AAU high school tournament kicks off tonight and runs through Sunday at the Beaverton Hoop and at Lewis & Clark College.
Over the last few years this even has expanded to include top-flight teams from across the country. ICP Portland and Seattle Rotary will welcome teams from Indiana, D.C., California, Massachusetts and Virginia to the Northwest. NBA stars like Portland Trail Blazers forward Luke Babbitt and Orlando Magic center Dwight Howard have competed in this tournament in the past.
Games start at 5 PM tonight at The Hoop. Here's a map to the facility. I'll see you out there.
