South Harrison High School will be the site of the very first Grand River Conference Interdivisional Showcase, pitting teams from the league’s Eastern and Western divisions against each other to decide overall league standings.
In the past teams have played interdivision games at different sites around the league but this year all 16 schools will gather on Saturday, Feb. 9, at SHHS, for 8 girls games and 8 boys games that will decide final conference standings.
Under the new format, games will be split between the high school gym and middle school gym, beginning at 9 a.m. and concluding with the championship boys matchup at 9 p.m. Individual matchups have yet to be determined as teams are still wrapping up their division schedules.
Spectator parking will be located in six different areas on the South Harrison campus. Bus/shuttle areas will be available for pick-up and drop offs throughout the day. There will be three different access points to enter the school, i. e. the high school front doors, north entrance to the middle school and front door entrance to the middle school.
The cost of admission is $5, and conference passes will not be accepted. Fans leaving the event must request a wristband if they wish to re-enter without being charged another admittance fee. Concessions will be available in both the high school and middle school commons. T-shirts will be on sale the day of the event in both commons areas.
Plans are being made to televise the games live on Facebook. Albany City Link TV will also be attendance for some of the matchups.
