The AMA tournament champion 6th-grade Sutter Creek Blue Devils boys' basketball team will be traveling to test their mettle against talent from the Central Valley in the Lodi March Madness basketball tournament this weekend. Playing in the Lodi Grape Festival Pavilion, the boys will encounter teams in an open format that will include AAU, school, park and recreation, and club teams.



Coaches Travis Andrews and Troy Claveran have drafted help in a couple of key positions. League standouts center Ryan Halvorson from the Jackson Cougars and point guard Trevor Ramage from the Ione Bulldogs will join the Blue Devil tournament squad. Full details on the tournament outcome in next week's Ledger Dispatch.
