“This is a big basketball community. Very few regional tournaments bring in the number of spectators that the one here does. It is a large event for here. All the participating schools bring large numbers of fans to our area. Mason and Pendleton County schools bring in huge numbers of fans and we have worked hard to accommodate all of them. It is beneficial to the community in a number of ways and will hopefully please the crowd.”
“It is not just ticket sales. It is parking nightmares, rest rooms, emergency personnel, safety and security plans and any number of jobs that create the regional tournament. Just making sure there is cold pop for 5,000 people is a huge endeavor.”
