// Another Level : pure heart•pure heart•pure game \\

June 1-2nd, 2002 Bremerton High School was the site of our 1st annual “ANOTHERLEVEL Summer Classic”. That year the Rams of Wilson HS took home the first place trophy in the boy’s varsity basketball tournament. In June 2004 we completed our 3rd annual Summer Classic in Bremerton. It has grown into a 3 day event in which 16 high school teams throughout Washington and Oregon attend. We have been fortunate to bring in sponsors such as Baden Sports and the Seattle Sonics to put on a highly competitive tournament in a fun and exciting atmosphere. Below is a recap of last summer’s results:

On July 9-11, 2004 we coordinated our second boy’s tournament of the summer moving up north to Stanwood High School. This inaugural 16 team tournament featured an action packed weekend with some of the top schools in the state. We are grateful to coach Nate DuChesne for allowing us to put on a tournament in such a basketball rich community, and for devoting so much of his time to help make it happen. Representatives from the Seattle Sonics staff were on hand to offer prizes and giveaway items, and Baden Sports provided quality sponsorship. A big thank you to Windermere Real Estate of Camano Island as they coordinated and funded a Saturday evening barbecue for all the players, coaches, and fans. Below is a recap of the 2004 ANOTHERLEVEL Spartan Classic:

After knocking off the reigning state champs from Kentwood HS in an exciting overtime thriller, the Puyallup Vikings set up a Championship showdown with the Snohomish Panthers who outlasted Auburn HS in the other semi-final contest. Lead by sharp-shooter Johnny Spevak, the athletic Austin Kilpatrick, and a strong supporting cast, the Puyallup Vikings proved to have too many offensive weapons outlasting Snohomish to take home the 1st place crown.
