Hundreds of Pioneer students spend night shooting hoops

Last Friday more than 100 Pioneer Middle School students participated in an all night 3-on-3 basketball tournament. Students started at 8 p.m. Friday evening and played until 8 a.m. Saturday. More than 60 games of basketball was played among 32 teams during this annual "lock-in" event. Parents and staff volunteered to chaperone.

In addition to basketball, students watched movies, listened to music and played volleyball, video games, board games, and ping pong all night long. Sleeping areas were provided for those in need. Pizza was served at midnight, a snack at 3 a.m. and breakfast at 7 a.m.

Parents and staff commented on how well behaved the students were throughout the event.
