Anyone under the age of 55 has never had to live a life without the Eldorado Holiday Tournament; until now. The next 4 days are going to be rough. With that being said, we WILL get through this and look forward to seeing each and every one of you next year.
It seems darker today. We have lost a basketball icon. Jerry Sloan has passed away after a battle with Parkinson’s Disease and Lewy Body Dementia. I have been to two games at McLeansboro where he was in attendance and he was gratuitous to rival Eagle fans #firstclass#legend
