(LaPorte County, IN) - A local high school team made the national boys' basketball tournament.
But, the tournament has been canceled.
La Lumiere was considered on the bubble before the eight teams were chosen recently for the Geico Nationals in New York City. Not only were the Lakers chosen but they wound up being the 5th seed.
Head coach Pat Holmes credited his players for overcoming a couple of mid-season losses to make the tournament…. He said not getting to play in the tourney was disappointing especially for his two seniors.
LaLumiere finished second in the tourney last year and won it back in 2017.
The Lakers finished the regular season at 23-3.
