–Roberson hosts The Ram Classic, a 3-day baseball tournament
21 March 2008SKYLAND - March 21, 2008 - The Roberson Rams, who have played in the Annual Buncombe County Baseball Tournament every year that it has been played, decided not to play in this year’s event. They will instead be hosting their own tournament, The Ram Classic, which will run from Monday through Wednesday of next week.
Sources have told PREPalert.com that the reason for the change from the Buncombe County to their own tournament is because they play most of the teams in the county twice already in the regular season. Asheville, Enka, Erwin and North Buncombe, along with Roberson, Tuscola and Franklin are part of the 3-A Mountain Athletic Conference.
Roberson also plays Reynolds twice during the regular season. The Rockets play in the 4-A Northwestern Conference.
Other local teams involved are Brevard (2 games), Pisgah (2 games), North Buncombe (3 games), Franklin (3 games) and R S Central (3 games)McDowell will also play the Ram’s Junior Vasity (1 game) on Wednesday at 10:00.
Two teams from Tennessee, Unaka and Gatlinburg-Pittman will also be playing, with each one playing three games.
Admission to the tournament is $5/day.
