 The
One-on-One Challenge Board
is always very popular with both the NBA (high school) and the NCAA (junior
high). Each player has his name on a card on the board
and challenges those above him in an attempt to reach the top. As
players win and lose they change positions on the rungs on the board.
This competition is on-going throughout the week. |
