THIS YEAR’S NAIA WOMEN’S NATIONAL BASKETBALL TOURNAMENT IN SIOUX CITY WILL BE ALL ABOUT THE GAMES, WITHOUT SOME OF THE USUAL EVENTS THAT TAKE PLACE ON THE SIDE.
TOURNAMENT CO-DIRECTOR COREY WESTRA SAYS THE CANCELLATION OF SOME OF THOSE EVENTS IS TO LIMIT POTENTIAL EXPOSURE TO COVID:

HE SAYS SOME EARLY HIGH SCHOOL GAMES HE ATTENDED WHEN PLAY RESUMED THIS WINTER WERE MISSING THAT:
