Kokomo to host Indiana basketball day
INDIANAPOLIS — The fourth annual Basketball Day Indiana will be hosted by Kokomo at historic Memorial Gymnasium, Saturday, Feb. 8.
Basketball Day Indiana is a full day of games and television coverage celebrating Indiana’s game. It is produced by FOX Sports Indiana, the Indiana Pacers, Indiana Fever and IHSAA. It is presented by Ascension St. Vincent.
“We’re thrilled to bring Basketball Day Indiana to Kokomo alongside our partners
the Pacers, Fever, IHSAA and Ascension St. Vincent,” said FOX Sports Indiana
senior vice president and general manager Jack Donovan. “We want to showcase
the state’s iconic gyms and communities each year as part of Basketball Day. The
tremendous history of Memorial Gymnasium and enthusiasm of the Kokomo community make it an ideal setting.”
Four marquee high school boys games will be played — one featuring the Kokomo Wildkats and will be televised live on FOX Sports Indiana. The full slate of games will be announced later this month.
Memorial Gymnasium was built in 1949 and added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2005.
Every high school hosting a home game that weekend will receive a Basketball Day flag. The
schools will join the celebration by posting photos to social media with the hashtag
#BasketballDayIndiana.
