West Shamokin High School may not be having classes this week, but on Thursday and Friday the boys and girls varsity basketball teams will compete for the Christmas Tournament Championship.

Teams invited to West Shamokin’s Christmas Tournament include boys teams from Karns City, Clarion Limestone, and Northgate - as for the girls, Armstrong, Highlands, and Shady Side Academy were invited to compete.

The Armstrong and West Shamokin girls teams will both be trying to make it to the championship game, and West Shamokin will likely be looking to avenge their only loss of the season against Armstrong 27-26 at the River Hawks Tip-Off Tournament Championship at the beginning of the season.

In order for this rematch to happen West Shamokin will need to defeat Shady Side and Armstrong will have to defeat Highlands. Highlands and Shady Side have won one game each this season.

The action will start on Thursday at West Shamokin High School at 3:00 PM when the Armstrong girls take on Highlands.
