State Senator Jeff Smith is preparing for his second annual 3-on-3 basketball tournament in Fairgrounds Park. Our camera was there last year when then-candidate Smith brought his dribbling skills to north St. Louis. Labels: Events
The event will be on July 28, beginning at 10:00 a.m. Smith has set up a website (www.jeffsmith3on3.com) where teams can register online. The deadline is July 23.
According to Smith, the tournament is free for all, and all players will receive free T-shirts and back-to-school supplies. A local DJ will be spinning music, free food and drink will be provided, and for those with a sweet tooth, Ben and Jerry's will be there with 500 scoops of ice cream.
The age divisions are 10 and under, 11-13, 14-16, and 17 and up. The winners of each age division will win brand-new bikes from Big Shark Bicycles; runners-up will receive free passes to Six Flags, and 3rd place finishers will receive gift certificates for everything ranging from clothes to CDs to oil changes.

I would be careful playin with a playa. He is someone who believes black boys and girls cannot grow up and lead other black men and women, and further believes that the only thing these people can do is play basketball...and they play that in prison too!!!

I find it funny and ignorant that someone would take and make a comment regarding what Jeff Smith does or does not feel about African American children. Regardless to what he feels or what "we" think of that, he has helped to organize a day that will be both fun and beneficial for ALL children. Futhermore, parents such as myself and my husband struggle daily to provide for our children and look forward to events such as this and are grateful for the oppurtunity to participate.
