     "I wanted to let you know how well run the Hardwood Hustle tournament was.  I go to so many basketball tournaments, all over the country, and this was one of the best.  Many thanks to you and your team for putting on a professional event.  Your facility is amazing as well!  I bet I know who did the drywall!" - JH1 Elite Parent and Administrator

"You guys run one of the best tournaments we've been to and we've traveled all over the country!" - Wisconsin Focus Parent

"Thank you for being available to answer all my questions.  I know you have a lot going on setting up for the tournament, but you always responded in a timely manner. " - Xtreme Coach

"It was great seeing the college coaches watching the games. I know that was extra effort on your part to get them to the tourney.  It's apparent you do care about the kids and put them first." - Blaze Parent

"I've never been to a tournament that gives the coaches free sugar cookies! You're the Best!" - Midwest Magic

"I love being able to bring my entire boys and girls program to this event.  It gives us a whole weekend to really support each other while getting great competition." - WI Evolution Director

"Lisa, Thanks for having our team at your tournament. We didn’t fare as well as last year but it gave our boys another opportunity to play without traveling across the state. We appreciate all of the attention to detail that you put into the event." - Northern Heat Coach
