Description

Bridge II Sports is excited to once again host the Old North State Classic Junior NWBA wheelchair basketball tournament!  Wheelchair basketball teams, in both the Varsity and Prep divisions, from around the Southeast, or further abroad, are invited to participate in this annual winter celebration of our young athletes as they compete for the gold.

I would like to announce that the Rocky Mount Event Center will be the new home of Old North State Classic.  Why?

I have been organizing and putting on events for nearly 20 years.  The best events and best outcomes over time come from having consistency; and while I love it when games are in local universities; it is difficult to find the consistency necessary for long-term sustainability in a university setting.  At NC State the students are always their first priority, and we are always their second.

And while NC State's students should be their top priority; it makes putting on a successful event harder, and it has a negative impact on our ability to put on the best event possible for our priority, the athletes.

We will be LIVESTREAMING again! David Anderson and his team are coming back for their fourth year of supporting Old North State Classic athlete's and their families by allowing friends and family to cheer their favorite adapted athlete from afar.  We will make sure to send out a link to all teams so that they can share with family and friends.  We also have several retired NBA players lined up to call the livestream action.

Jillian’s Jitterbug has stepped up again this year to sponsor lunch on Saturday for players and coaches!  Family and friends in attendance will have the option to purchase food from the Rocky Mount Event Center's concession stand.

Rumor has it that there may also be an Athlete Social hosted on Saturday night after the games...  Stay tuned.  Either way, we look forward to seeing you all again in NC!
