While Washington’s basketball teams will be on the road, Northside High School will be buzzing with activity next week as the school is the host site for the Atlantic Conference tournament.
PAM PACK
Both Pam Pack basketball teams are the No. 7 seeds for next week’s Coastal Conference tournament, which tips off Monday.
