Save Bucks, See More Basketball at Effingham/Teutopolis Christmas Tournament

Organizers of the inaugural Effingham/Teutopolis Christmas Tournament are offering adult season passes good for the entire two-day tourney for $15.

The $15 ticket will provide admission to all four sessions of the tournament, set for Friday and Saturday, December 27-28 at both Effingham High School and Teutopolis High School.

The adult passes will be on sale at Tuesday night's Hearts/Wooden Shoes boys' basketball game and at both high school offices for the balance of this week.

The first-ever tournament will feature Charleston, Mattoon, Mt. Vernon and Chicago Al Raby in addition to the Hearts and the Wooden Shoes.  Chicago Al Raby, a school named after a legendary Chicago area school teacher, will replace Chicago Robeson, which is unable to participate in the tournament.
