2021 MUDECAS Basketball Tournament

Here are my top 60 images from the 92nd annual MUDECAS Basketball Tournament. This year's tournament was held at the Beatrice City Auditorium and the Beatrice Middle School. Previously, the second site was at SCC, but was moved to the middle school (across the street from the Auditorium) due to the pandemic. For those who remember the tournament being held at the Auditorium/Middle School Gym combo, I'm guessing it was a nice throwback (back when that gym was still the high school gym). 

Of course snow postponed all Friday's games to Saturday, making it eight straight games at both gyms. With the games being just 150 steps from each other, I was able to shoot some of the late A Division games at the auditorium after catching the first three B games at the middle school. You can check out a lot of these photos and more on the Beatrice Daily Sun website. 

And you can catch all of the championship game replays on strivsports.com, which also includes a list of all results and the Jane White All-Tournament Teams. 

Okay, enough text. Enjoy the photos! Thanks for viewing!
