Since 2012, we've been telling you about the King James basketball tournament, which has been renamed the Dru Joyce Classic.

It's a tournament where young basketballers from all over world travel to Ohio in the US to compete in a tournament under NCAA rules. It's a big opportunity for those ballers to be scouted by college basketball teams looking for talented recruits to offer them athletic scholarships.

Team Belize has had great success in the tournament so far, and today, the U-19 Team from the Light & Peace Basketball Foundation left the country to compete in this year's classic.

We spoke with several of the young Belizean ballers before the boarded their flight. They told us that they are excited to represent the country at this tournament.

The tournament take place in Akron, Ohio. It starts on tomorrow and ends on Sunday.
