Last week, the tournament committee make the decision to close the gates to fans because of COVID-19. They released a statement citing health and safety reasons.
Out of an abundance of caution, the 2020 Lanierland Tournament will be held with no spectators, according to a release from the tournament committee on Tuesday.
Originally, the committee had decided to play the tournament at the higher-seed team s location until the finals with limited attendance, which were scheduled to be played at Gainesville.
But on Monday, leadership from the three school systems involved, Gainesville, Hall County and Lakeview Academy, made the decision to play all rounds of the tournament at Gainesville High School without fans.
Leadership from all three systems met this morning to discuss hosting the Lanierland Basketball Tournament under the challenging circumstances created by COVID-19, the statement said. With the number of positive cases in the community on the rise, and with so many schools facing the challenge of maintaining in-person instruction, the agreement was reached that the tournament should proceed but with no spectators in attendance.
