If you want to mingle in the East Valley this week for some basketball there are five prime sites for boys and girls action.

For boys it's Mesa High hosting Fear the Hop and Gilbert High the same for Welcome to the Jungle. Highland and Mesquite are the sites for Highland's Thanksgiving Invite (girls) and Marcos de Niza is the locale for a 16-team girls tourney.
