(SMO) — Hannam Supermarket of Koblerville, in collaboration with the Saipan Mayor’s Office Sports Program, hosted a 3-on-3 Youth Basketball Tournament at the Koblerville Basketball Court this past Saturday, Sept. 20.
Hannam Supermarket, the official adopter of the Koblerville Court under the Mayor’s Adopt-a-Place Program, partnered with Mayor RB Camacho and his office to bring together 16 teams of young basketball players.

Before tipoff, Mayor Camacho addressed the athletes, praising and thanking them for their support of youth sports and healthy, active lifestyles. He encouraged them to build friendships and bonds with teammates and opponents from different backgrounds.
Despite rainy and wet conditions, all teams came out and gave their best on the court. In the end, Team Hotshots claimed first place, Team Gremlins finished second, and Team Koolaid Jammers secured third.
