Stella Maris Academy hosted the 24th annual Art Hicks Memorial Basketball Tournament this past week. Between team registrations, door prizes, and 50/50 ticket sales, organizers raised just over $2,000 for the school’s sport program. The family of the late Art Hicks made a financial donation and also donated a number of team hats, while members of the Trepassey 50 plus club volunteered to cover the door all weekend. Five teams participated and Sable Contracting nabbed tournament gold. Plans for the 25th annual tournament are already underway. From left to right are Kyle Collins, Trevor Ivany, Brant Williams, CJ Clowe, Conor McCarthy, Nathan Mulcahy, and Noah Power. It was the first time in some years that the tournament was held. Hicks was a respected businessman in Trepassey who operated a hardware supply business and was a big supporter of the community’s sports teams.
