In just a few days, more than 200 basketball teams will flood the streets of downtown Ironton for the ninth annual Gus Macker 3-on-3 tournament.

The Ironton event, organized by the Friends of Ironton, kicks off the first of only four Macker tourneys in Ohio this year and will possibly feature some notable names, including No. 1 college prospect Andrew Wiggins, who is registered with a team and is slated to play Saturday morning. Official confirmation is pending. Wiggins announced Tuesday he will play for the University of Kansas this year.

If you’ve never been a Macker spectator, here is a play-by-play to navigate downtown on Saturday and Sunday.

Players will be able to register from 4:30 to 8 p.m. Friday at the city center on South Third and Vernon streets. Players can also register from 7 a.m. to noon on Saturday.

Opening ceremonies will be 8 a.m. Saturday with games starting at 8:30 a.m. through 6 p.m.

Beth Campbell, one of the event organizers, said the opening ceremony will recognize the Ironton High School basketball team’s seniors who took their season all the way to the state tournament final four.

The Ironton pep band and color guard will also help lead with the ceremony.
