Second Annual SAM DUNK 3v3 Basketball Tournament

On Monday, March 11, The Independence School community came together to honor classmate and friend Sam Hanna in the second annual "SAM DUNK 3v3 Basketball Tournament." Sam valued fun, competition, fair play, hard work, integrity, and friendship and each player embodied these characteristics on the court. This year, a very special replica of Sam’s jersey was unveiled - something to live in our gym forever and continue to remind our students to #Play4Sam.

Special thank you to Mrs. Horsey and Mr. Motta for organizing such a wonderful event! Thank you, as well, to the faculty members who volunteered their time, the parents and spectators for supporting our middle school athletes, and of course, the 29 teams who participated. 

Congratulations to these winning teams!

5th & 6th Grade Girls: Emery, Colette, and Vanessa
5th & 6th Grade Boys: Charlie, Rhys, and Massimo

7th & 8th Grade Girls: Sara, Audrey, and Caroline

All proceeds from the tournament will benefit the scholarship established in Sam’s name.
