ALLENTOWN, Pa. – The annual Cedar Beach Basketball Showcase begins this Friday, July 17, despite a string of teams dropping out.<\/p>\n
The tournament provides local boy’s teams with regional competition, but Cedar Beach saw a disturbing trend prior to this weekend’s competition.<\/p>\n
“We’re used to 60 teams.\u00a0 So, we’re between 24 and 30 right now,” tournament director Glen Klein said. “Every morning I wake up I get one that came in and two that dropped.\u00a0 So, we’re on the scuff where we don’t know what we have yet, but we have a tournament.\u00a0 You\u00a0 know, there’s teams that have paid already and I’m committed to running a tournament and that’s what we’re gonna do.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"ALLENTOWN, Pa. – The annual Cedar Beach Basketball Showcase begins this Friday, July 17, despite a string of…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":245375,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[10],"tags":[4773,119,121,120,5956,6704,726],"class_list":["post-245374","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-allentown","tag-_sports_top_stories","tag-allentown","tag-allentown-headlines","tag-allentown-news","tag-basketball","tag-high-school","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/245374","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=245374"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/245374\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/245375"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=245374"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=245374"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=245374"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
