Blue Jays Help Set Up For National Tourney


About 13 players from the Blue Jay basketball program traveled downtown to the Municipal Auditorium Monday morning to help prepare the arena for the NAIA National Tournament. Players were assigned duties such as hanging banners and posters, moving refreshments into the media rooms, organizing tournament supplies, and building basketball goals for the interactive kids zone. After their hard work was over, the NAIA treated the team to an awesome meal at Ponak's.
The first round of games begin today and will conclude tomorrow. The feature game will be Thursday night at 6:15pm as William Jewell takes on Concordia College, the #2 seed of the tourney. It's advertised as 'the toughest tournament in America' because teams have to win 5 games in 7 days. Make your plans now to go check out some great basketball action.
