Boys Basketball vs Barberton Ticket/Seating Info

The Rough Rider Boys Basketball team opens the season with a home game this Friday, December 2nd against the Barberton Magics.  Student and adult tickets will be sold the night of the game with doors opening at 5:15.  Many Barberton fans usually travel to away contests, so expect a large crowd.  Seating in Roosevelt Gym for the 2011-12 Boys Basketball season has changed, and the Roosevelt student section will now be located in the south bleachers behind the Rough Riders team bench, where students STANDING will be accepted.  Kent adult seating will be in the northwest and southeast sections.
