Iowa’s only Gus Macker 3-on-3 Basketball Tournament held August 2-3 in Mount Pleasant, Iowa is accepting mail-in and online registrations. The early registration deadlines are July 11 and 14.
This is the third consecutive year the Gus Macker will be held in Mount Pleasant, located in the southeast corner of the state at the intersections of hwy 218 and hwy 34.
“We have a great tournament site that is very easy to get to,” said local organizer Eric Rawson. “We are less than a tank of gas from Quincy, IL and Cedar Rapids, IA – two areas we like to see teams draw from.”
Last year’s tournament brought in teams from seven different states. Local organizers are looking to build on the previous two years.
“We are still a young tournament with growing excitement,” said Rawson. “We feel this year’s tournament will be the best yet.”
Mount Pleasant’s Macker will include division of all ages and skill levels, along with a Dunk Contest, Three Point Contest, Free Throw Contest and a Spot Shooting Contest. New for 2008 is the Mount Pleasant Corporate Division.
