MONTGOMERY, Ala. | The Alabama State University bowling team will take part in three days of action at the ISTAP Hornet Classic here in Montgomery. The three-day event begins Friday and will be held at the old Brunswick Lanes in Montgomery.
 
The tournament will feature several teams including No. 11 Louisiana Tech, Alabama A&M, Emmanuel College, Florida A&M, Grambling, Jackson State, Southern, Tusculum and UAB.

The tournament will consist of a three-day schedule with lane draws taking place Friday morning at the coaches meeting.

The teams will compete in five Traditional-style matches on Saturday, beginning at 9:15 am, before being seeded on Sunday based on total pins for the bracket round for a best of seven series to determine the winner. Awards will be announced at the conclusion of the tournament at 12:30 pm.
 
This weekend's play will be a return to action for Alabama State, after competing in the Sonic Boom Invitational in Jackson, Mississippi last week where they clinched third.
