Nick Schroeder During the past week, Catawba Valley Community College was honored to host the National Junior College Athletic Association (NJCAA) Division II Womenâs Basketball Championship at the Tarlton Complex â an event that was moved to Hickory just short 12 days prior to its first tip off. The tournament, which was originally scheduled to be held at St. Clair Community College in Port Huron, Mich., was moved due to an increase in COVID cases in St. Clair County in Michigan. For those who arenât aware, national tournaments hosted by the NJCAA are usually awarded and bid on by colleges years before the events take place in order to plan this great undertaking, but under the current environment the move of the yearâs event had to happen quickly. The quality of the tournament could not be affected, and most importantly, the experience of the student-athletes was paramount. This undertaking had to be planned and organized in less than 10 short days before the players, coaches, teams and spectators arrived in the Catawba Valley area.
