The Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame's Panini Hoophall Classic has come to a close, and the Hooplandia Street Team is reflecting on a weekend well-spent promoting our festival to basketball fanatics.
Intern Anthony Ardolino, Hooplandia General Manager Drew Dawson and other team members chatted with parents and players alike, tossing out branded t-shirts and upping the energy in the Blake Arena at Springfield College, the Springfield College Fieldhouse, at Duggan Academy and at Western New England University. They witnessed historic face-offs between individual players, including Phoenix St. Mary’s High School’s Cameron Williams and Paul VI High School’s Jordan Smith Jr., as well as landmark team rivalries like Bishop McNamara of Md. versus Ontario Christian of Cali.
Our street team had a ton of fun meeting you at Hoophall and looks forward to the event every year. We hope to see you at Hooplandia next, June 19-21.
