Yes, I went, it was a great event, top notch teams and atmosphere. My ONLY complaint is the cost for the kids to get in. I talked with many NL & SL students who normally go to the games that didn't because of the high cost. It shouldn't cost a student $20 to watch their school team play in their home gym. They could have presold to students a discounted ticket and let more kids attend the event. JMO

 

Yes i agree it shouldn't cost a high school student $20 to get in to watch there team play but it was the only way it could be done. South Laurel had to make some money to be able to bring these top teams in. If they dont make any money then the event probably wont last. If you really think about it though $4 to watch your high school team play and 3 top 10 nationally ranked teams is really good! I know at my school's games they charge $3 for students so not much difference!

Not to bear a dead horse, but... No, it is not the only way it could have been done. Let students in for a discounted price. It's not right that several students that wanted to watch their team play could not because of price.

Well what do you think the price should have been? I mean South Laurel had to pay for real good money for the teams to come in and it was a good turnout overall I thought. If the students couldnt get in because of price then they could've watched them online, as I believe they were streamed online for free.

South Laurel didn't pay a dime. Both SL & NL received money to help put it on. A private company put on the the event.

So both SL and NL were paid to have these teams play at SL??
