NEWPORT NEWS - The Apprentice School Department of Athletics is set to host the Great Ships Classic basketball tournament this weekend at the Apprentice School Gymnasium.

Over the course of Saturday and Sunday, six different institutions will come to Newport News to take part in the tournament. On the women's side, Cheyney, Clinton and Washington Adventist will participate, while the men's side will include Central International, Central Penn and Mid-Atlantic Christian.

Games each day will start at 12 p.m. with four games happening per day. The Builder basketball teams will play the first two games of the day Saturday and the last two on Sunday.

Fans are reminded that throughout the basketball season, the fifth floor parking deck on the 31st Street side of the building is available for free parking. Any other spot on 31st Street puts fans at risk for towing. A parking map for the weekend is at the bottom of this page.

Tickets for each day's action are $7 each and will give you access to the entire day of basketball. Apprentice Athletic Club members have free admission using the promo code given to them in the preseason email.

All games will be live streamed through the official YouTube home of Builder athletics with links to each game found on the Tournament Website, linked above.
