Concordia hosts LCMS high school basketball tournament

Concordia University, Nebraska hosted the first annual Lutheran Invitational Tournament for high schools Jan. 7-8.  The boys' and girls' basketball teams of the four Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod high schools in Nebraska were represented:  Lutheran High Northeast in Norfolk, Heartland Lutheran High School in Grand Island, Concordia High School in Omaha, and Lincoln Lutheran High School. The event brought an estimated 2000 fans to Seward.

"We are truly excited about this tournament, because it brings together four great Nebraska Lutheran high schools for a weekend of inspiring competition and genuine fellowship," said Scott Seevers, Concordia's vice president for enrollment management, student services and athletics.  "We are blessed to have a new facility in which to host this event, and it's a privilege to have these teams and their fans converge on Concordia for an inaugural celebration of Nebraska Lutheran high school basketball!"

All of the LIT games were played in the Health, Human Performance and Athletic Center.
