The Knoxville tournament is coming up on February 23 & 24 (Saturday and Sunday). Coach Wallace will be making final plans, but we can anticipate an early AM departure (~6:00 AM) on Saturday and then arrival in mid-evening on Sunday (~6:00 PM).
Travel: We have a chartered motor coach that will provide transportation for the players.
Hotel: We have 26 rooms block reserved for our group at one of the hotels associated with the tournament. It is the Best Western - Cedar Bluff. The players and coaches will use 17 rooms which leaves 9 rooms for use by parents. The players' rooms are paid for by the Boosters. Parents will get the same discounted rate, but the room must be converted over to your name and credit card. To convert a blocked room to your name...
* Call the hotel at 865.539.0058,
* Tell the reservations clerk that you want to convert one of the rooms in the Ballard Team (may also be called Kentucky Team) block of rooms.
* The tournament rate is $79 per night and with taxes, etc. the final cost is $92.63 per night,
* Provide all of your normal personal information along with credit card,
* I will have to release rooms back to inventory by next Friday, February 15th, as there is demand for more rooms and the hotel is technically sold out,
* If there is greater demand for rooms that the 9 that are blocked, then those parents will have to find rooms in other nearby hotels.

The hotel has a code-of-conduct that it expects our team to abide to during our stay. I am certain that Coach Wallace's standard for the team's code-of-conduct exceeds the hotels. As in previous years, behavior that is deemed to be a serious infraction may result in that player being sent home in advance of the team at player/parent expense. However, I am certain that we will continue to have a perfect record of not having to act upon this situation.
