For several years, former Charlotte Hornets star Muggsy Bogues has wanted to sponsor a tournament featuring middle school basketball teams in the area.
On Saturday, Bogues’ dream will come true.
The first Muggsy Bogues Middle School Basketball Tournament will be held Saturday at Carolina Courts in Indian Trail. The tournament features more than a dozen CMS middle schools as well as Mecklenburg County private schools and schools from Union County.
Bogues said there are 36 teams registered: 22 boys’ and 14 girls’ teams. Each team will play at least two games beginning Saturday at 8 p.
