Basketball tryouts began Monday, but some local teams are already getting ready to play preseason games this weekend.
In Fort Fairfield, contests are slated to be held beginning at 3:30 p.m. Friday and again starting at 10 a.m. Saturday and running through the early evening. In addition to the host Tigers, a pair of Canadian schools will participate, along with the Van Buren and Easton girls and Presque Isle JV boys.
Washburn will host a girls’ round robin Saturday. Southern Aroostook, Houlton and Caribou are the other teams involved. Games begin at 10 a.m., with the final one set for 4:15 p.m.
Concessions will be available at both sites and there is an admission fee.
