Elmira – Santa’s a busy guy this time of year, then again, so is Josh Palmer. On Saturday night, the Josh Palmer Coaches vs. Cancer Basketball Tournament will tip-off for the 11th year and with the most teams ever.
One of the biggest reasons for the tournament’s growth is the addition of a four-team small-school division on the boy’s side. This has allowed a pair of local teams, Troy (PA) and Notre Dame, to join in on the fun. Some of the out-of-town teams include schools from Delaware, the Bronx, Massachusetts and Erie, PA.
