SEA ISLE CITY – Participants in the first Bill Liddell Men’s Basketball Tournament braved the heat and a bevy of talented competitors at the JFK Boulevard courts Aug. 14.
According to a city release, in the end, “Liddell’s Legions” beat “The Lakeys,” in a close championship game.
During an awards presentation immediately after the one-day tournament’s final game, The Lakey’s received a $100 gift certificate, courtesy of Mike’s Seafood Market and Restaurant. A moment later, Sea Isle City Councilman and First Bank of Sea Isle City Board Member Jack Gibson presented Liddell’s Legion with $500 cash, courtesy of First Bank.
Liddell’s Legion consisted of a group of friends visiting from Pennsylvania: Rob Daly, of Yardley; Tim Galen, of Conshohocken; Rick Leonetti, of Jamison; Zach Marttila, of Dolyestown; Tate Moll, of Oley; James Pearce, of Yardley; Joe Renzi, of Philadelphia; and James Schlucter, of Conshohocken.
The namesake for the Bill Liddell Men’s Basketball tournament is a long-time recreation volunteer who has been closely involved with Sea Isle City’s basketball programs for many years and currently oversees the City’s “Men’s Over 40” weekly basketball program.
