Area basketball fans looking to get some bang for their buck might want to consider heading down the hill for Saturday's Common Good Classic at Del Oro High School.
Seven games featuring 14 boys basketball teams from area conferences, including all seven from the Sierra Foothill League, are slated to hit the court in hopes of helping raise funds for Placer County's Organization for the Common Good.
Saturday's action begins with Oakmont (9-10) taking the court against Center at 10 a.m., which will be followed by Woodcreek (7-11) vs. Del Campo (8-9) at 11:30 a.m. Roseville (5-15) and Bella Vista (14-4) follow at 1 p.m.
Nevada Union hits (11-7) the court against old rival Placer (10-9) at 2:45 p.m.
"I know they tried to match up as many natural rivalries as possible," said NU coach Jeff Dellis. "Obviously, Placer's been a longtime rival having been an old SFL opponent.
"The whole day should be some great basketball. And it's worked out well for us right now, because we're on a Tuesday/Thursday (game) schedule this week and we'll be able to get a practice in Friday."
The Miners host Oakmont in SFL play at 7:30 p.m. today.
According to Dellis, the Organization for the Common Good, provides social services to those in need throughout Placer County. He said the event is somewhat modeled after the Elk Grove food bank game, which also raises funds for the host community.
Tickets are $10 for adults, $6 for seniors and children under the age of six. Those younger than five are admitted free.
Following NU vs. Placer, Granite Bay (13-5) and Colfax (15-1) take the floor at 4:30 p.m., followed by Rocklin (17-1) and El Camino (13-3) at 6 p.m. Host Del Oro (13-5) and Natomas (10-6) will play the nightcap contest at 7:45 p.m.
