WONDER BOYS BASKETBALL TO HOST ITS FOURTH-ANNUAL
GOLF TOURNAMENT IN LATE SEPTEMBER

        RUSSELLVILLE, Arkansas Arkansas Tech Men’s Basketball Coach Mark Downey has announced the date for his program’s fourth-annual fundraising golf tournament.

This year’s event will take place on September 25 at Russellville Country Club. The tournament format will be played a four-man scramble and the entry fee will be $400 per team or $100 per player.

“This is a great opportunity for the River Valley community to get involved with the Tech Men’s Basketball program,” Downey said. “We have moved the tournament this year to the beautiful Russellville Country Club and our staff and players will be present for a great day of golf.”

The tournament will begin with a shotgun start at 1 p.m., which will be preceded by lunch at 11:30 a.m. Prizes and giveaways will be awarded and the tournament will also have individual hole contests.

“The revenue generated from the tournament will help our program meet our lofty goals in terms of recruiting, travel, in the classroom, and on the court,” Downey added. “If you can’t join us on Sept. 25, come out to Tucker Coliseum this winter.

“We need your help and anything you can do is greatly appreciated.”

Downey says that he is still looking for hole sponsors (a $200 donation) and prize donations for this year’s tournament. Anyone interested in participating in the golf tournament or being a hole sponsor, please contact Coach Downey in his office at (479) 968-0365 or by e-mail at mdowney@atu.edu.
