Basketball Tournament Winners Announced

The winners of Greater Cape May Elks/Tom Beheler Youth Basketball Tournament were announced after a full two days of basketball in Lower Township.
The basketball tournament draws boys and girls teams from organizations throughout southern New Jersey to play in one of the area’s largest holiday tournaments. The tournament was set up in memory of Tom Beheler, who operated the Sports ‘n’ Stuff store in Cape May, and who died from amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), also known as Lou Gehrig’s Disease. The tournament was initiated by Beheler’s wife, Charlotte, and John Herman, who was his best friend. Herman noted that part of proceeds of the tournament go to the ALS foundation. 
Cosponsored by the Greater Cape May Elks Lodge 2839 and the Lower Township Recreation Department, the tournament provided the opportunity for teams to play at least two tournament games – a first round game followed by either a bracket consolation game or a championship game. Winners of each bracket competed for a tournament championship.
The championship winners included: Galloway Township 3^rd and 4^th grade boys, Ocean City 3^rd and 4^th grade girls, Galloway Township  5^th and 6^th grade boys, Galloway Township 5^th and 6^th grade girls, Egg Harbor Township 7^th and 8^th grade boys and Upper Township 7^th and 8^th grade girls.
