The best Northern Region boys and girls basketball players will take center stage at Centreville this Saturday in the second-annual DigitalSports Basketball Showcase.
The Beltway will take on the ‘Burbs as the Showcase features the official Northern Region boys’ and girls’ all-star games, a boys’ and girls’ 3-point shootout and a dunk contest.
We will also feature a fan contest to crown the official No. 1 fan base in the Northern Region. Attendance will be taken at the door and winners will be announced at 7 p.m. So wear your school colors and come out and support your school’s participants. (Prizes for the largest student-cheering section will include a free T-shirt and a free appetizer courtesy of Glory Days Restaurant!)
The Showcase will run from 5:30-9:30 p.m. and entrance fee is $6, which will include a program for every fan.
The event will be announced by Jerome Hruska, official voice of the Washington Nationals.
