Dakota Wizards News Release
BISMARCK N.D., October 24, 2007 - NBA Development League Champion Dakota Wizards announced today that they will play their 2007 preseason/exhibition game vs. rival Sioux Falls Skyforce at the Dickinson High School Gym in Dickinson, North Dakota on Friday November 16th at 6:30 pm MDT.
"We have had such a great rivalry with Sioux Falls over the years" said General Manager Tom Wagganer. "It is only fitting that we once again match up two great teams in a preseason game to get ready for our regular season."
The Wizards will team up with the Dickinson Public Schools Foundation for another Wizards game in Dickinson, with all of the proceeds going to the Foundation to help enhance education in the Dickinson Public Schools.
"This is more than a basketball game, it's an event!" said Jay Bleth President of the Dickinson Public Schools Foundation. "We are excited to be a part of this great opportunity to bring the highest quality of entertainment in North Dakota to the city of Dickinson."
The Wizards are able to play one exhibition game each season prior to the regular season. Last year the Wizards traveled to Watertown, SD to also play the Skyforce that helped benefit a local charity.
"This is the fun portion of the job,"said Public Relations Director Mike Offerdahl "This gives us a chance to get out in the area communities where the fans are at, while helping a great cause at the same time."
The Dakota Wizards begin defense of their D-League Championship on Friday, November 23rd at 7:00pm CT against the Iowa Energy. 2007-08 Season Tickets for the Wizards start at only $99. For more information, please visit www.dakotawizards.com or call 701-258-BALL.
