Ronan Pioneer Days Jamboree draws 77 hoops teams
(Jim Blow/Leader)<br>Colton Woods of Polson was sandwiched between Job Corps players Alvin Felter (left) and Ben Watts during an early round game at the Ronan Pioneer Days 3-on-3 Jamboree basketball tournament held in Ronan on Saturday. Woods missed the scoop, but got his own rebound for a putback.
RONAN - A brief shower early in the morning served to cool the courts, but not the action at Saturday's Ronan Pioneer Days 3-on-3 Jamboree basketball tournament.
A total of 77 teams, the most ever for the event, competed on the makeshift courts erected for the day on 2nd Avenue SW. Teams competed in 14 categories, plus slam dunk, free throw and 3-point contests.
"The dunk contest was awesome. It was the best I've ever seen at the 6-foot level," tournament organizer Steve Woll said.
