“This is a first class tournament. It has been great,” said Barreras. “We went to the Tournament of Champions in Chicago last year. It is a first class tournament, and I think this one tops it. They have done everything right. The hospitality has been great. There has been great competition, and I can’t say enough good things about it. I am very impressed.”

“It has been a privilege to come to the King Cotton,” said Jacobs. “This has been a great tournament, and it was a privilege to come play here. Thanks for allowing us to come and play here. We are thankful for how great we have been treated. We are thoroughly impressed with the way we have been treated here.”

“This has been a great tournament. We have played a tough schedule, and this will help us with that,” said Bloom. “It is a nice arena and everything has been great for us.”

“This is a very great tournament in a very great arena,” said Diggs. “This is a very great tournament, and I am so grateful that they invited us to it. When you talk about going out of state for tournaments this is one of the best we have been to. It is only going to get bigger and better. We have been to the City of Palms tournament in Florida that is pretty good and we have been to the Chic Fil A tournament that is pretty good, and this one compares to them. It is well run, the community is behind it, and I know it is only going to get bigger and better.”
