The Olympia Reign, Olympia’s professional basketball team, made a couple of announcements on their Facebook page today…

“The Little Creek Casino, Kamilche Trading Post, The Landing, and Island Enterprises have acquired a brand new basketball floor and equipment so the Olympia Reign can play all their home games at the Skookum Creek Event Center located next to the Little Creek Casino Resort. It is an amazing venue and we would like to thank them for providing such a nice home court to protect!”

I knew that the plan was to play at Little Creek but I was skeptical that it would ever happen so I’m glad to see things progressing. I think it’s a good plan and could be a good place to play. I just hope that the proper marketing is done to get butts in the seats and they put on a good show. I have my doubts.

And the Reign also announced open runs and tryout times…

“Olympia Reign will start open runs on Thursday March 1st from 7 to 9 pm at South Puget Sound CC. They will continue every Tuesday and Thursday at the same time until tryouts. On March 17th and 18th from 9am to 3 pm the Olympia Reign will be hosting tryouts at South Puget Sound CC. The fee for tryouts is $50. Call Coach Smothers at 360-250-9881 or Owner Mark Felton at 360-790-5165 with any questions.”

So if you think you have the goods to play in the IBL, get your butt out to SPSCC.
