More local basketball teams will get to experience playing in the Hoosier Gym this season.
Bellefontaine’s junior varsity and varsity boys teams played at the iconic venue in Knightstown, Ind., last season. Indian Lake’s varsity boys and girls will play there Monday, Dec. 23, against Upper Scioto Valley.
The gym was used as the home court for the Hickory Huskers in the popular 1986 movie “Hoosiers.”
“It’s just an opportunity for our fans who remember and love the movie to experience being there and for our teams to get to be a part of that, as well,” said Indian Lake athletic director Jeff Courter.
The Indian Lake varsity girls team will play at 4 p.m., followed by the boys varsity game at 6 p.m.
Presale tickets are available now in the Indian Lake Board of Education office and at all home varsity events. All tickets are $7 and can only be purchased with cash. One ticket will provide admission for both games. Indian Lake will receive 100 percent of the presale ticket profits.
The address of the facility is 355 N. Washington Street, Knightstown, Ind.
