IRON MOUNTAIN -- The 3-on-3 Gus Macker Basketball Tournament team was busy Thursday setting up courts and getting organized for the three-day event that opened on Friday.
Nothing happens at the tournament without teamwork, event co-coordinator Barb Reisner stressed.

Opening ceremonies will start at 8 a.m. today at the top men’s court, with the tournament games to tip off at about 8:30 a.m. at each court. Dream court games will start at 9 a.m.
Macker competition resumes at 8:30 a.m. Sunday, with trophies presented at about 11 a.m. in the gym.
The new Gus Macker Cafe will be open from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday and Sunday, offering a variety of food and beverages. Additional food vendors will include the Gus Macker outdoor food tent, Flavor Blast, Curious Pig and Elephant Ears.
