ARSHAG DICKRANIAN SCHOOL PARTICIPATES IN NATIONAL BASKETBALL TOURNAMENT

The Dickranian Lions Travel to Las Vegas to Compete in the All Star High
School Boys’ Spring Basketball Classic
Los Angeles, April 11, 2009 -The TCA Arshag Dickranian School boys’
basketball team, aptly called the Dickranian Lions, will head for Las Vegas,
Nevada, to compete in the Double Pump All Star High School Boys’ Basketball
Tournament on April 24-26, 2009. This will be the team’s first travel out of
state accompanied by parents and members of the school Athletic Committee.
`The team is very excited to participate in this tournament, because this
will give every player the opportunity to be a part of a national and
highly competitive event for the first time.’ said Rudlph Rameh, the school’s
Athletic Director and Head Coach.
Double Pump was founded, in 1989, by brothers Dana and David Pump of
Chatsworth, Callifornia. The "Pumps" have forged a strong network of
relationships with university athletic directors, college coaches and the youth
basketball community. Recognized as the leader in service-based products that
specifically target high school, college athletics and the grassroots sports
industry, Double Pump is known to bring together the best talent and
industry leaders at all of their events. The three day tournament will take place
in several high schools at which time the Dickranian Lions will join a pool
of 12 teams from several states. Arrangements have been made that at their
opening game on April 24, the players will observe a minute of silence in
commemoration of the Armenian Genocide.
The Dickranian Lions often participate in various tournaments and
championships and are known for their neat appearance and their sports spirit.
Playing in the Double Pump All Star High School Boys’ Basketball Camp will help
The Dickranian Lions to be a member of the California Interscholastic
Federation (CIF) next year.
Located at 1200 North Cahuenga Blvd., Los Angeles, the TCA Arshag
Dickranian Armenian School is a federally tax exempt, Pre-K to 12th grade
private educational institution. For more information visit
