2022 Mingua Beef Jerky/KHSAA Girls’ Sweet 16® Worker Assignments and Information

Basketball Working

First, let me apologize for the lateness of this precise information. With the sudden departure of a staff member, shuffling in another position and then the surge of COVID cases in early January/February, some details fell through the cracks. Butch or I one has personally talked via phone or text with almost all of you as we have tried to formulate as close to a “normal” tournament as we have seen in three years. In addition, the conversion to digital ticketing and working with a new sponsor sales group has certainly been challenging. But that’s not your worry. Just wanted you to know it wasn’t you, or falling out of favor, it has just been a rough few months. THANKS FOR HANGING IN THERE WITH US! – Julian
