Holiday Hoops 2019 will begin on Friday, Dec. 14 with nearly 70 games being played at the Ketcham Community Center on the NCMC campus in Trenton. The final games will be played on Dec. 31. High School Holiday Hoops is sponsored by the North Central Missouri College Foundation.
Volunteer roles to be filled include serving as team hosts, operating the official clock and keeping the official scorebook, assisting with hospitality and hosting the official hoops counter. “As in the past, numerous organizations and businesses have hosted specific days allowing them to function at the front gate selling tickets and programs. And this year, more groups are becoming involved in this role,” says Maxey, “allowing for better management of this volunteer need.”
“Individuals wanting to assist with Holiday Hoops receive no compensation but are presented with admission passes allowing them to attend any and all games when not working,” says Maxey. “This is the least we can do to thank the many volunteers who support the largest high school holiday basketball shoot-out in the state.”
