Fletschock says plenty of people have asked why the SHAC isn't be used for that tournament. The boys state B tournament will be played in Minot at the Minot State Dome, while the new look Class A will come to the Fargodome. Each will be hosting Summit League regular season basketball games at the time of the girls state B.
The Jamestown Civic Center is in play because the NCAA calendar moves back a week in 20, taking the Betty Engelstad Sioux Center in Grand Forks and the Sanford Health Athletic Complex in Fargo out of use. 'Jamestown has built many hotels in the last 10-15 years, but we don't know all the answers because it's never been done of having three state basketball tournaments.' Fletschock said.
That's an answer that the NDHSAA or the city doesn't have yet. There are some concerns about hotel space in Jamestown with eight teams and likely thousands of fans coming to town.
