Introducing an exciting new Points & Attendance submission process for 2014!!
MC's HSBU team has always been about efficiency and innovation. That is why in 2008 MC's HSBU partnered with Weebly Web Creations to develop a website that would serve as the central hub for everything State Tournament. In 2010 MC's HSBU joined forces with the consulting firm Defrancesco Statistics LLC to compile and organize points and attendance records. Recognized as an industry leader on the cutting edge of new technology, James Defrancesco, Director of Technology Operations began testing and piloting his new Electronic Points and Attendance System (E.P.A.S.) to further streamline the submission and data collection process. It is with much anticipation and excitement that MC's HSBU is proud to roll out Defrancesco Statistics LLC latest and greatest technological advancement - the Electronic Points & Attendance System!

Elegant. Classy. Luxurious. All adjectives that were never once used to describe the accommodations for those of us hanging out in the concrete jungle known as the parking lot for 3 days. Much like a fat woman in a pie-eating contest - she ain't pretty to look at but she could certainly get the job done! The time has come to put this old baby to rest as a new canopy has been purchased and will make its debut at State 2014. Unfortunately, the stock prices for clamps and visqueen has bottomed out, but similar to a badly wounded horse, it was time for this baby to be put down, one last time.
Introducing the new King Canopy 10X10 Tuff-Tent Aluminum Instant Canopy, complete with 4 fully functional, non-bent legs!
This commercial grade, heavy duty yet lightweight white aluminum frame-center with truss design and fitted white polyester cover creates a magnificent shelter from the elements. The canopy comes complete with sidewalls and is rust resistant!
The canopy's sidewalls attach to the inside of the valance . . .that's right folks . . . a VALENCE, using hook and loop tape for a better seal in inclement weather. The canopy's 100 square feet of outdoor shelter means that all the members of the group can gather in the shade, protected from the elements in the great outdoors; this outdoor shelter won't leave anybody behind. Shade from the sun and shelter from the elements, all in one simple canopy. Welcome the newest member to the State Crew, the King Canopy!

2014 Pre-State Dinner: Dave & Buster's
Considering that the entire weekend revolves around food and basketball, there is no better way to start off the festivities than with some good grub! Each Wednesday night before State, the guys get together to kick-off the weekend with what has become known as the annual "Pre-State Dinner". This tradition started with Javan, Seth, and Micah at BW3's back in 2001. In 2007 the Findlay Crew (Dad, Don, and Geoff) joined in on the fun and the tradition was born. Careful consideration goes into the restraunt selection process for each year...similar to the selection process the Olympic Committee goes through when naming the host sites for the summer and winter olympics. Scroll down to see past host sites. The committee is proud to announce the selection for 2014 . . . Dave & Buster's!!

In the late 70's in Little Rock, Arkansas, two establishments existed side by side in location but worlds apart in concept. Inside the classic setting of the Missouri Pacific Train Station, two very different establishments enjoyed a brisk trade.
A man named Buster ran a favorite watering hole. Buster's restaurant boasted casual elegance, warm historic ambience and wonderful eclectic food served up by some of the friendliest people in town.
Next door, another man was also enjoying a bustling business. Dave ran "Slick Willy's World of Entertainment." Here people were almost irresistibly drawn by his selection of outrageous fun and games for big people. These two young entrepreneurs and neighbors became fast friends.
Perseverance, faith and scores of talented people put Dave & Buster's on the map for good, and we've grown to include locations across the country and in Canada. Our goal is to open four new stores every year, so if we haven't made it to your city yet, just wait!
Today there's only one place where you can eat new American, fun gourmet food; AND drink your choice of fun, innovative beverages; AND play the biggest and best arcade games around-all under one roof! That one place is your local Dave & Buster's, where you always get great food, drinks and big-time fun served up by the friendliest people in town. That's always been our guiding principle... and not such a crazy idea after all.
