Due to coronavirus (CONVID-19) concerns/precautions, the University Scholastic League (UIL) will be limiting the number of fans attending each game at the UIL State Basketball Tournament this weekend.  If you are planning on attending Friday’s game between the Shelbyville Dragons and Gruver High School, you must purchase a pre-sale ticket at Shelbyville High School.  Tickets will be available for sale until 11:30 a.m.  According to UIL, tickets for Friday’s semi-final games will not be sold at the Alamodome box office.  Also, immediately following each semi-final game on Friday, the Alamodome box office will sell only 500 tickets for each winning school for Saturday’s Championship game.

Please keep in mind that decisions impacting the tournament may change at any time as circumstances dictate.  The UIL will be releasing an official press release sometime this morning, but Shelbyville ISD wanted to get the word out on the tournament changes to our fans in a timely manner so plans could be made accordingly.

Please travel safe, and remember to follow precautionary hygiene methods (i.e. wash your hands frequently) to combat the spread of the coronavirus.  Dragon Pride…
