Even when temperatures push 100, it’s basketball season in the Triangle.

Nineteen AAU boys teams from the region converged over the weekend for the Kenny Inge Invitational Tournament at Cary Academy.

The tournament, named for and hosted by the former N.C. State star, raised scholarship funds for underprivileged kids and was put on by the Basketball Heights charitable foundation, tournament spokesman Rob Orton of the Cary Cougars said.
