Join us for Hyde School's 33rd Annual James Roman Basketball Tournament Dec 13-14! 8 teams, 2 days of action, sportsmanship, and community spirit.

BATH, ME, UNITED STATES, December 12, 2024 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Hyde School proudly announces the 33rd Annual James Roman Tournament, a two-day basketball event celebrating sportsmanship, community, and athletic excellence. The tournament will take place on Friday, December 13, 2024, and Saturday, December 14, 2024, at Hyde School’s gymnasium, located at 616 High Street, Bath, Maine.

Named in honor of former Hyde student James Roman, the tournament began as a boys-only competition and has since evolved into a co-ed event featuring four boys' teams and four girls' teams. The event is rooted in values of sportsmanship and community spirit and remains a cherished tradition for Hyde School over three decades.

“We started out as a boys' tournament to honor James Roman, but it has grown into something much bigger,” said Stefan Jensen, Hyde School’s Athletic Director. “This weekend is about more than basketball—it’s a chance for our school and community to come together, celebrate teamwork, and showcase some amazing student-athletes.”

“This is a great opportunity for our teams to test their abilities,” Jensen added. “The girls’ division is particularly competitive this year, and the boys are coming off a big win, so it’s exciting to see how things will come together.”
