The crowd for all the games was incredible and they packed into the gym the best they could. The SEAS gym has not changed in 70+ years it seems and the fans were right on the edge of the court unless they managed to make it up on to the stage. Many of the current Raider varsity basketball players came to support the SEAS kids. Some of the varsity guys went to SEAS and were you in attendance, you may have recognized some of the varsity players younger brothers on the team.
The important piece of the tournament is the players and fans alike had a fun time around the sport they love and many will return for the 63rd annual Patriot Tournament in 2024.
