Byline: Daily News

Antelope Valley College's McDonald's Big Mac Tournament this weekend isn't just about a strong field that includes five 20-game winners from the 1997-98 men's basketball season.

The Marauders are hosting a free clinic for boys and girls of all ages beginning today at 9 a.m. sharp inside Marauder Gym.

Marauders coach Newton Chelette, his assistants, players and the other seven participating head coaches will offer their services. The two-hour clinic is split into another seminar for any local coaches from recreation leagues and elementary, junior and high school teams.

For information, contact Chelette at 722-6441.

Tournament play takes today off for the clinic and the McDonald's Community College Bowl football game, then wraps up on Sunday. The championship game tips off at 4 p.m.
