(La Porte, IN) - High flying acrobats specializing in slam dunks will be featured during the La Porte Invitational college prep school basketball competition.

 

The "Leaping Legends” will perform Friday during halftime at each of the four scheduled games at the Civic Auditorium.  Trampolines are used by the acrobats to jump high into the air before slamming the basketball into the rim on their way down. 

 

La Porte Park Department Superintendent Mark Schreiber said the team performs during Indiana Pacers home games and other events throughout the state.  A video of the "Leaping Legends” is posted on the La Porte Civic Auditorium website on Facebook.

 

The La Porte Invitational tipped off on Thursday when La Lumiere took on Sunrise Christian Academy out of Florida in a game televised on ESPNU.  The tournament continues through Saturday.
