Preparations continue for the NJCAA Division II Men’s National Basketball Tournament with games set for March 19th – 23rd at Danville Area Community College. But if you would like to see some very good women’s basketball, you can stop by DACC this weekend. Danville Area Community College will be hosting the NJCAA Division II Women’s Regional Basketball Tournament.
There will be four teams involved with games at 2:00 and 4:00 p.m. on Saturday, March 9th, and the championship round starting at 2:00 p.m. Sunday, March 10th.
The teams will be playing on Dick Shockey Court which will be dedicated during the Men’s Tournament. ‘’It will always be Mary Miller Gym,’’ said DACC President Stephen Nacco earlier. But he added naming the court after the man who led the Men’s National Basketball Tournament (at DACC) for 25 years before his death ‘’recognizes him not only for what he did for the college but the community as well.’’
Shockey served as the Chief Financial Officer at Danville Area Community College before his death.
