In the past, the city has not been as aggressivde as it could have been in pursuinprep events, Brown says. "I was shocked to hear we had not bid on Springv Fling before and had not bid on the basketball tournaments in several years," Brown says.
An aggressive run at thoswe events has, so far, paid off for Landing the basketball tournaments would be just another feathetr in the cap for theSportx Authority, once looked at by locals as a paperd tiger.
