PRESCOTT VALLEY, Ariz. - In a continued community outreach effort to grow the sport of basketball in Yavapai County, the Northern Arizona Suns have teamed up with local high schools to create long-lasting memories for youth in the area. The Suns will host the varsity basketball teams from Bradshaw Mountain High School and Prescott High School on Saturday, Feb. 2, at the Findlay Toyota Center, shortly before playing their own game against the Delaware Blue Coats.
The four varsity teams will get to play on the same court where some of the best players in the world have played this season, including four current Phoenix Suns. The NAZ Suns are also inviting the student athletes from all four teams to attend their game later that day.
The girls varsity game will tip-off at noon, followed by the boys varsity game at 2 p.m. Doors open at 11 a.m. for general admission seating, with tickets available at the door for $3 for students, $5 for adults (cash only).
