The Coal Bowl Research Group is conducting a research project collecting information and artifacts related to the 35-year history of the New Waterford Coal Bowl Classic Basketball Tournament.
The tournament, hosted at Breton Education Centre in New Waterford, was established in 1982.
James Downing is making the video production for celebration.
It's a project he's excited to get start, he said.
"The tournament started as a dream to become one of the best high school basketball tournaments in the country.
"Today, the Coal Bowl continues to draw teams from as far as British Columbia, something that's pretty impressive."
Kyle Burns played in the Coal Bowl Classic with the host Bears during his high school years.
It's a tournament the players look forward each year, he said.
"It doesn't matter who you ask, Coal Bowl is a big part of the New Waterford community."
"BEC always puts pressure on themselves to win, but it doesn't always turn out that way."
Anyone with Coal Bowl memorabilia and interested in participating in this project with photos, artifacts, medals, etc, is asked to contact the group at coalbowl35@hotmail.com.
The 2016 Coal Bowl Classic Basketball Tournament will take place from February 1-6 at the Breton Education Centre gym.
