Crain offered the official statement to the press this week.

“COVID-19 has caused many disruptions for schools, business, and our nation as a whole,” he said. “The 20-21 basketball season will also be affected unlike any year before. In order to keep our student athletes, cheerleaders, coaches, visiting teams, and officials safe, we will not be utilizing the bottom reserved seats this season. We will also limit the number of tickets available at the door for each game. We regret that we will not be able to honor senior citizens cards during basketball this year.

We want to thank our Warrior fans for their patience and understanding during these uncertain times.”
