Introducing the First Annual Templeton Cup 
On Saturday, January 10th, we will host the Templeton Cup, a brand-new mid-season tournament designed exclusively for the 8–12 Division. This one-day event will give our recreational players a taste of a true “travel tournament-like experience” while still maintaining the supportive, community-focused spirit of LFE Hoops.

The Templeton Cup will feature a full day of competition at Pennwood Middle SChool, with the 6–7 Division games moved to Hope for that day. Teams will battle it out in pool play leading into semi-finals and a championship game—ultimately crowning our first-ever Templeton Cup Champion.

To make the experience even more special, the winning team will receive ceremonial championship rings to commemorate their achievement—a keepsake to honor both their effort and the spirit of competition.
