Senior Marketing Students and some team members of Fairmont Boys Basketball attended the Flyin' to the Hoops Press Conference on Tuesday, October 10. The Press Conference was held at the Marriott University of Dayton to release the schedule for the event. Now in its 21st year, this nationally-ranked high school basketball showcase will take place during Martin Luther King Jr. weekend and will be held at Trent Arena. The Dayton and surrounding community will watch teams perform in front of sellout crowds of over 20,000 + Fans, 100+members of the National Media, and 100+ Division I, II, and III Coaches in Dayton, Ohio. Another great lineup is in store with Ohio - and the Nation's - top players and teams participating.
Marketing students in attendance learned valuable skills in press conference planning, organization, media communications and even set-up and clean-up. Big thanks to Eric Horstman, Founder and President of Flyin' to the Hoop for the event invite.
