UALR to host appreciation day for basketball teams on April 6

BURN THE HORSE
UALR will host an appreciation day on April 6 beginning at 5:30 p.m. at the Jack Stephens Center.
Here’s the letter UALR sent out earlier today:
   Trojan Fans,
   Come out to the Jack Stephens Center at 5:30 pm on Wednesday, April 6 to congratulate your men's and women's basketball teams on their success this season and their NCAA Tournament Appearances. Both teams and coaches will be on hand to mix and mingle with fans, answer questions, and talk about the great year for the program.
   Also that night, you will be able to confirm the renewal of your season tickets for the 2011 - 2012 season. Next year, UALR will be hosting the 2012 NCAA Women's Basketball Championship First and Second Rounds at the Jack Stephens Center. In order to plan accordingly for that event, ticket renewals will begin in April for next season.
   Both Coach Shields and Coach Foley will address the crowd at the event. You will also hear about the new players each coach has signed for next season. Lastly, your five Seniors from the men's team and three Seniors from the women's team will have a chance to say thank you and goodbye to the Trojan faithful.
   See you next Wednesday, April 6 at the Jack Stephens Center.
One issue though. The spring signing period doesn’t begin until April 13. Therefore, coaches will not be able to talk about players that may sign in the spring. However, they will be able to discuss those who signed in November.
