Sometimes the best laid plans just don’t work out. Just ask Baker boys basketball coach Craig Woods.
Woods tried to coordinate a nine-team 24-hour summer basketball tournament at Baker High School Friday and Saturday.
The key to that statement was “tried.”
With nine teams Woods said each team would play a minimum of five
games during the two days. There would be time for video games,
sleeping and resting as well.
That was before Woods took his players to a camp at Gonzaga
University a week ago. When he returned to Baker the tournament field
had shrunk to five teams, and then to four.
