JSU reinstates mask policy for all campus buildings, so it’s No Mask, No Entry at tournament, ticketing details and more

Jacksonville State has renewed a mask policy for all campus buildings effective Wednesday so facial coverings will be just as important to get into the Calhoun County Tournament as the ticket that fans will purchase through GoFan.

Until further notice, masks will be required inside all university buildings. The policy applies to all students, faculty, staff, contractors and visitors regardless of vaccination status.

No Mask. No Entry.

The only exemptions to the policy are when along in offices and private workspaces, while eating or drinking inside campus dining facilities or participating in physical activities. So, while the players don’t have to be masked on the court, the fans in the stands have to be.

The university said masks will be available at building entrances.

The tournament starts Friday with four games:

Boys
Pleasant Valley vs. Wellborn, 4:30 p.m.
JCA vs. Ohatchee, 7:30 p.m.
Girls
Faith Christian vs. Donoho, 3 p.m.
Saks vs. Wellborn, 6 p.m.

Ticketing details

All tickets for the Calhoun County Tournaments — varsity and junior high — must be purchased through the GoFan app

Keep monitoring social media to vote to give your favorite player a shot at a half court shot worth $10,000 for them and their school.

The F&M Half-Court Shootout is a fan vote for the second year in a row. Each team will put up a player for consideration. The top boys and girls vote getter will receive a $500 scholarship with the top vote-getter overall getting to take a shot from midcourt that, if made, will get them $5,000 and their school $5,000.

Organizers are still compiling the ballot. It will be posted soon.
