Student Information for Girls Basketball State Tournament Game on Thursday, March 14


GIRLS’ STATE BASKETBALL TOURNAMENT INFORMATION

 
GAME 1 – THURSday, March 14 @ 2:30 pm (EST)
 
Activity buses will be available for students wishing to attend Thursday’s game. Students that ride the activity bus to and from the game will be considered on a field trip. Students that use other means of transportation to and from the game will have to sign out of school through the attendance office (this will not be considered a field trip).
 
Students interested in riding the activity bus will need to purchase transportation and a game ticket, along with submitting a completed field trip permission slip (pick up in athletic office), in the bookstore during lunches on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday (limited transportation/ticket spots may be available in the Attendance office on Thursday before 9:15 am – no guarantees). Students that wish to ride on the bus together must purchase tickets at the same time in order to be assigned to the same bus.
 
On Thursday, all students riding the buses will attend first lunch (we will not stop on the way to Bowling Green). We will begin loading buses at 11:10 am on Ray Baer Blvd. You will need to check-in with the bus chaperone prior to loading. The bus chaperone will request to see your bus and game tickets prior to boarding and will check you off the bus roster.
 
If you ride the bus down, you are required to ride the same bus back to Manual. Chaperones will have a roster to check-in riders when we leave the game. After the game, we will meet at the place where the bus dropped us off, outside gates 3 and 4. Please report promptly to that same bus for the return trip. We anticipate the buses returning to Manual by 7:00 pm, so please have your ride home scheduled. Students will receive one detention for every 15 minutes their ride is late arriving.
 
If we win on Thursday, and you want to attend Friday’s quarterfinal game, you will need to purchase Friday’s ticket immediately following Thursday’s game at the arena ticket booths for $9 (you will save $3 per ticket by purchasing in advance). Please remember to bring money for that purchase.
 
·   On Monday, March 11, Tuesday, March 12, & Wednesday, March 13, the following purchasing options will be available to students in the bookstore during all lunches:
o Thursday Game Ticket - $9
o Official T-Shirt - $10
o Thursday Bus Transportation - $14
o Thursday Bus Transportation, T-Shirt & Ticket Combo - $25
 
·   On Thursday, March 14, the following purchasing options will be available to students in the athletic office prior to 9:15 am.

If you receive a RED MANUAL TICKET and need to exchange with Mr. Zuberer for a Friday game ticket, you need to meet him outside of Gate 3 at Diddle Arena at 2:00 pm.

Remember that we are representing Manual High School and Jefferson County Public Schools at the tournament. Please display good sportsmanship and have fun supporting our team. Since this is a school-sponsored activity, unacceptable behavior will be addressed according to the student code of conduct.

GO CRIMSONS!
