The 2010 results page has tons
of information and here are a few comments from past participants:
"For
those of you who do not know: Doug Koster is the premier tournament man. Glory
has been taking teams to outstate tournaments for about 15 years. There is no
tournament organized as well in advance and no tournament which posts immediate
results which adds an incredible classy touch. The Dakota Showcase and Mr.
Basketball Invitational in Kearney tournaments are two more of his major
tournaments. Glory is honored to have been asked to participate in this first
Minnesota Showcase." - Dr. Charles Paxson from Minnesota Preps forum.
"I
am new as a coach, but as a player, I did have the opportunity to play in Doug's
tournament in Kearney, Neb., and I loved it. Doug is absolutely a world class
tournament director and I also feel lucky to have my team in both the Minnesota
Showcase and the Dakota Showcase this year." - Nic Carroll, Minnesota Magic
Black from Minnesota Preps forum.
Our tournaments have earned a national reputation for being the nation's best
organized events, with good college exposure, strong national competition,
unbeatable facilities and outstanding community hospitality. We look forward to
speaking with you about your team competing in this event!
