A long-time Saint James School tradition is making a major comeback—and we want you to be a part of it. Please join us in welcoming back the Saint James School Invitational Basketball Tournament, scheduled for March 10-12, 2016. The event will be held on our home court, at Saint James School, in Hagerstown, MD. The Saint James Invitational Tournament (SJIT) was first held in 1974, setting the standard for high school basketball tournaments. Now, it is poised to return, better than ever. The tournament will once again bring nationally recognized high school teams from around the country to play high-level, competitive varsity basketball. We are proud to reinstate this important part of the School’s history, and with it, the opportunity for Saint James athletes to play national level basketball against exceptional teams, and to earn recognition for their talent and hard work. The enthusiasm, patronage and support of our community is vital to the success of this tournament. Please review the various ways you can sponsor this great event. SJIT Fast Facts: Did You Know?
