The St. Thomas More sixth-grade girls basketball team was crowned champion of the sixth annual Sam Robb Memorial Holiday Classic Basketball Tournament, which was held Dec. 27-29.
The team raised over $800 for pediatric cancer research. Of that money, $350 was raised prior to the tournament during a cookie swap fundraiser at the home of one of the team’s players, Loren Marie House. The money was presented to the Robb family following the championship game.

This team of girls has won the championship three consecutive years—they also won it as fourth- and fifth-graders.
