National Tourney Starts Thursday
The 2012 NJCAA Division III National Tournament returns to Sullivan County Community College (SCCC) March 15-17 and once again a lot of pats on the back go out to the outstanding efforts made by representatives of SCCC and other community folks who have worked hard to bring a Men's College Basketball National Championship Tournament to Sullivan County.
The National Junior College Athletic Association (NJCAA) Division III National Championships will be hosted at SCCC in the Paul Gerry Fieldhouse beginning this Thursday March 15 and will go through Saturday March 17.
Eight of the best NJCAA Division III men's basketball teams will compete for the National championship and at the time of this writing one additional division had yet to be decided. The seven teams to date include The Bronx Community College Broncos, SUNY Delhi Broncos, Milwaukee Area Technical College Raiders, Cedar Valley College Suns, Central Lakes College Raiders, Brookdale Community College Blues and the Roxbury Community College Tigers.
In an upset that hits particularly close to home, the D-III National Tournament hosts, the SUNY Sullivan Generals, were beaten in Region XV seminfinal play by Nassau Community College on March 3 and will not be a part of this tournament.
Sullivan County is once again putting it's best foot forward for this event and we say a great big welcome to all eight teams, their coaches and their fans who should give a nice boost to our local economy this weekend.
If you want to see some great college basketball get over to SCCC for this outstanding display of talent. Tournament passes may be purchased by calling 845-434-5750, ext. 4294.
