Nansel said that Hoops Mania is not only good for those who participate, but brings a lot of business into the Grand Island area. That's a big deal. Hoops Mania is getting further recognition on Sunday when former Nebraska Football coach and congressional candidate Tom Osborne scheduled an appearance at the tournament. I told them it wasn't a problem. Nansel also said that all the success that the tournament is having is because of the volunteers that make it possible.
People work anywhere from a couple of hours to all weekend.
Without them, this wouldn't work. The proceeds from Hoops Mania goes to support GISH athletics. And it goes to helping kids. You can't beat that. Post your thoughts in The Public Forum.
