I am not going on word of mouth. I have played there 3 times in my very old career. Two times we were beat. Both times we were robbed. The time we won I actually thought the refs helped us.

Brought back old memories. Actually was the good ole days. Would like to play those two losses again today for sure.

Funny as he is just going by word of mouth back in them days. Guess he never traveled to Perry Co where they would tell you in the beverage stores what the line was and how Clay wasn't going to cover.

Beach Ball Classic directors said that one of the biggest mistakes they ever made was pairing Clay County with Eau Claire in the first round. They would love to have seen that one as a final game. That was an unforgettable period of basketball, not just for Clay County fans, but for mountain basketball as a whole. Put the mountains back on the basketball map.

I can't count the Sweet Sixteen slips I hauled to the Blue Moon. There's a few pools around here, nothing like the Moon though. I remember the walls being covered from floor to ceiling with those slips.
