Fredericksburg Academy dethroned Wakefield School as varsity champion but Wakefield's middle school team took a trophy home to The Plains when Foxcroft School's sixth annual Think Pink Basketball Tournament took place. The annual tournament benefits Cherry Blossom Breast Cancer Foundation.

Wakefield's varsity had virtually owned the Think Pink high school title, winning it four of the previous five years (and missing the tournament the fifth year). But Fredericksburg and St. James School (Hagerstown, MD) beat them to the championship game, FA won, 38-30.

In the middle school competition, Wakefield emerged above teams from Loudoun Country Day, School, Quantico Middle School, Randolph-Macon Academy, and Fredericksburg Academy. St. James School (Maryland) defeated Foxcroft in JV action.

Foxcroft went 1-2 in varsity competition, defeating Randolph-Macon Academy and losing to Wakefield and St. James. Gerstell Academy of Finksburg, Md., participated in the varsity tournament for the first time and made a strong showing.

Think Pink was a red-letter day for hoops fans as 21 games were played – three at a time! – over-six-and-a-half hours as 11 varsity and middle school teams played a modified round-robin with two shortened periods and a running clock. The two JV squads played a regulation-length exhibition game.

The tournament was organized and run largely by student members of Foxcroft's Athletic Association, with assistance from Athletic Director Michelle Woodruff and Assistant AD Ruth Ann Allen . Although admission was free – offering an entertaining day to all -- several thousand dollars were raised for the Cherry Blossom Breast Cancer Fund through concessions, T-shirt sales and donations. The referees, coordinated by Don Woodruff, volunteered their time, as did numerous Foxcroft faculty members and students who served as referees, scorekeepers, runners and more.

Foxcroft School has raised more than $50,000 for the local foundation during the past eight years through this tournament, the Cherry Blossom Walk, Run and Pooch Prance (which it also hosts on campus), and other fund-raising efforts. Two Foxcroft students – senior Lilly P. and sophomore Mary Park D, – sit on the CBBCF Board, a rare privilege for high school students.
