MISS BASKETBALL EXPOSURE EVENTS & TEAM CAMP
Miss Basketball will be hosting three college exposure events this summer. The 13th Annual Miss Basketball Showcase on July 10-13 in Kearney, Neb., will feature 64 teams from 17 states. Last year, 194 college coaches from 28 states scouted the super-talented event. Games are played at the University of Nebraska-Kearney Health & Sports Center (host of the NCAA Division II Women’s Elite 8 in a few weeks).
The 2nd Annual Miss Basketball Big Show tournament on July 3-6, is open to teams with players who will be 9th and 10th graders in 2008-09. Last year’s event featured 32 teams from 11 states. The Kansas Belles topped the Minnesota Metro Stars 14’s in the championship game. The tournament is also at the UNK Health & Sports Center in Kearney, Neb.
The 8th Annual Miss Basketball Dakota Showcase will feature 32 of the top teams from an 8-10 state region battling June 26-28 at Augustana College in Sioux Falls, South Dakota. Last year more than 60 Division II, III, NAIA and Juco coaches were on hand to scout the event. This event has been honored as the Girls Basketball Recruit’s best tournament of the summer each of the last two years.
The 14th Annual Miss Basketball Shootout on June 7-8 will feature 84 individual high school teams from across the Midwest. Each team will play 3 pool games on Saturday, followed by 3 tournament games on Sunday. Great facilities, certified officials, outstanding competition, divisions for large/small schools!
