4. WHAT AND HOW WE DID IT (CONT.)
• Obtain high resolution
logos from several
schools that could be
used for the game day
media packet and for the
social media websites
(Facebook, Twitter).
• Created media guide for
the use of the media at
the event.

5. HOW WAS IT RECEIVED?
• Overall, we believe this year’s shootout was a success.
The game day package was helpful for fans to see
upcoming schedules as well as updated rosters of the
teams.
• This year the showcase had a solid turnout. Although the
day of games comes on the Saturday after
Thanksgiving, fan support was steady throughout the
day.
• Having the television stations in attendance was a great
contributor for the event and for future years of the
showcase. The media attention received will hopefully be
able to allow for fans of basketball around the Cincinnati
area to look forward to this event each and every year.

6. HOW WAS IT RECEIVED? (CONT.)
• Pictures taken at the showcase was
an added bonus from previous
years.
• Quality pictures of the event will be
helpful for attracting new teams and
fans. This allows for those who
participated in the day’s festivities
to have a lasting memory of their
experience that day.
• Betsy Ross does a great job as
color commentator for the games.

7. HOW WAS IT RECEIVED? (CONT.)
• Most of the games were competitive and were a treat for
those in attendance.
• Kelsey Mitchell had a big day scoring over 25 points in
her game against Sycamore. Her presence was able to
attract college coaches from the surrounding area.
• Having college coaches in attendance will hopefully help
to attract fans over the next few years.
• This year was a step in the right direction for the Cincy
Girl’s shootout. There were more fans filling up the seats
throughout the day and local media was able to provide a
spark for the event in the coming years.

8. SUGGESTIONS AND IDEAS
• Improved participation and interaction with coaches
and athletic directors
• Timely exchange of information for game program
and media
• Finding ways through social media and other ideas
such as the bullying campaign to improve student
involvement and make them more excited about the
event
• Scheduling the games so that the best match up is
the last game of the day

9. SUGGESTIONS AND IDEAS (CONT.)
• Using star players (i.e. Kelsey
Mitchell) to promote the event as a
showcase of the city’s best talent.
• Vary the opponents throughout the
course of the event.
• Also finding a more suitable date that
will increase attendance and media
coverage.
