Basketball: CdM Errion Tournament slated for July 27

CORONA DEL MAR - If it’s almost July, it’s time for Corona del Mar

High basketball alumnus to start stretching their legs and working on

their three-point shooting for the 14th annual Jack Errion Summer

Basketball Classic.

The event, a fund-raiser for the CdM boys basketball program, is July

27 and traditionally played on the last Saturday in July.

The tournament, named after the late Errion, Corona del Mar’s

legendary former basketball coach, annually pits class against class. In

recent summers, many classes have been combined, mostly because of older

players’ weary bones and achy bodies in the one-day, round-robin

tournament, and the need to slow down.

CdM’s Class of 1990 has captured the Errion tournament title three

times, while the 1991-92 combined team is the defending champion. The

1991-92 squad beat the 1990 team in last year’s final behind former

swingman star Jon Upham.

Upham and Rob Hess are co-tournament directors and are looking for

players and former classmates to participate in this year’s tournament.

For information, call Upham at (949) 955-5789 or Hess at (949) 650-2034.
