BEATRICE, Neb -- Next week, the MUDECAS basketball tournament tips off in the Beatrice Municipal Auditorium and Beatrice Middle School.   This year the tournament is celebrating its 95th year.  The longest-running high school hoops tournament West of the Mississippi brings together thirty-two teams from Southeast Nebraska that will battle for the MUDECAS title with an A and B Division Champion being crowned for both boys and girls.

 The MUDECAS basketball tournament is the largest fundraiser of the year for the Beatrice Noon Kiwanis Club, which uses the money for educational and charitable projects. The club also awards each MUDECAS tournament participant school with a scholarship of $200.
