Spurs & Feathers: Gamecocks treat fans to experience like none other in Greenville
Oct. 14, 2016
T. Wayne Poole said that his phone has been “blowing up over the last few days” because the Upstate area Gamecocks were thrilled that they were coming to “my house.”
That’s how excited that Gamecock fans in the Upstate were that Dawn Staley and the South Carolina women’s basketball team were visiting, and that was readily apparent as hundreds of fans filled the Southside High School gymnasium in Greenville, South Carolina the evening of Thursday, Oct. 13.
“This has been amazing,” Poole, the Vice President of the Greenville Gamecock Club, said. “I haven’t seen anything like this in the Greenville area. Everybody has been so excited.”
Staley and the Gamecocks were just as excited to be there with the fans as they were to have them there, particularly since Greenville will play host to the 2017 SEC Women’s Basketball Tournament at the Bon Secours Wellness Arena March 1-5, 2017.
