On March 21-24th The Turner Job Corps Center held the NJCAA Basketball Tournament!
A total of six centers were able to be a part of this event:

Potomac(A & B Team)
Charleston
Earl C. Clements
Gadsden Job Corps Center
Turner Job Corps Center

The Women’s National Winners are none other than Charleston’s Girls Basketball Team. The Men’s National Winners were our Hotel Roommates the Gadsden Job Corps Center. Each game Gadsden was played with a lot of fight. During each game, Gadsden came out on top after at least a 10 to 15 point deficit. These guys played hard and never gave up when they were down.

After defeating our Men’s team by 4 points, Charleston and Gadsden were outside laughing and talking about the game and what each other could have done and complementing one another.

Participation for the National Tournaments have not been very high, but we anticipate participation to rise in the coming years, as we work hard through the Y2Y Campaign to enforce positive behavior and non-violence. We feel this is the beginning of the rebirth of sportsmanship for Job Corps Centers around the nation. We want to thank Turner Job Corps for their hard work and dedication in hosting the tournament. Recreation Managers met regarding next year’s tournament, of which the location is TBA.
