Five years is just the beginning Since 2017, MultiCare has proudly partnered with the Inland Northwest community for healing and a healthy future. We look forward to doing so for many years to come.

It is our privilege to care for this community, and to support key community partners like Hoopfest. Together, Hoopfest and MultiCare have led Spokane on its way to a new identity as Hooptown USA, a community committed to health for people of all ages and abilities.

We’re here for you.

MEMORIES ARE MADE HERE!

W

elcome back to the Best Basketball Weekend on Earth! Everyone at the Hoopfest office is so excited to have Hoopfest return and to have people playing on the streets again. Although Hoopfest is focused on basketball, to many people Hoopfest is something bigger and more impactful than a 3-on3 game. It’s a way to connect with friends and family that have a common bond through sports and to create memories that will last a lifetime.

Over the last 32 years a lot with Hoopfest has changed, but our goal of putting on the best 3-on-3 basketball tournament has never wavered. This is impossible to do without the players, volunteers and spectators that make Hoopfest what it is. We are so grateful for you and everybody who participates in Hoopfest. Thank you for allowing us to create this incredible event and we hope your experience in Hooptown USA is one to remember!

“THE CHALLENGE OF NAVIGATING THESE PAST TWO YEARS IS A TRIUMPH IN ITSELF.” — RICK BETTS

Founders Rick Betts (left) and Jerry Schmidt in 1994.

HEY SPOKANE,

WE’RE BACK! W

hen volunteers pulled up the taped lines from all the downtown courts on Sunday, June 30, 2019, nobody had any idea that it would be three years before the teams would tip off again. In 2020, it became clear pretty quickly that Hoopfest was not in the cards. But even more frustrating, in 2021 it was all systems go… right up until a few weeks before the rescheduled September Hoopfest, when the persistence of COVID meant the plug had to be pulled again.

For Hoopfest co-founder Rick Betts, who remains a board member and active leader of the institution, the organization found out a lot about itself — mainly that it is resilient and has a lot of good friends.

“The challenge of navigating these past two years is a triumph in itself,” Betts says. “Really, it was just so great to see how our sponsors hung with us. For both years, major sponsors stayed with us even though we didn’t have an event. That made all the difference.”

With that kind of support, Hoopfest was able to refund everybody who asked for one in both 2020 and 2021.

“Then there’s the board and operating committee,” Betts adds. “They never left and are as strong as ever.”

But there has been change, too — former executive director and Gonzaga legend Matt Santangelo moved on, but Hoopfest didn’t miss a beat, with Riley Stockton taking the reins, along with other new staffers.

4 SPOKANE HOOPFEST 2022

“The new staff, we’re just really happy with them,” says Betts.

As for the hiring of Stockton, nephew to NBA legend John Stockton and former college and international professional basketball player, “It was a rigorous process, and we had a number of applicants. Riley just really matched it on all fronts. College and pro player, knows the Spokane basketball community, had event management experience. It takes a special person, and we found him.”

Stockton says he’s proud to have the opportunity to lead Hoopfest back from its hiatus, and it’s personal to him, like it is for so many.

“I started playing Hoopfest when I was 6 years old,” Stockton recalls. “I played up with my cousins’ team. That’s what Hoopfest was for me, a chance to play with my cousins, and I’ve played with brothers every year since. It almost feels like homecoming every year, or like the holiday season in June.”

But just as important, he says, is to welcome back all the fans, family members and spectators.

With crowds lining the streets for the revival of Bloomsday in May, he’s extending the same welcome to bring back that Hoopin’ feeling. The Hoopfest team has been hard at work to bring it all back to life — the food, the dunk contest, the kids’ fun, the entire Spokane spectacle.

“Such a big part of this is the community involvement,” he says. “Even if you’re not playing, just come down and enjoy Spokane. Hoopfest shines a great light on this city. We want to make SPONSORED CONTENT

this feel like everyone in Spokane has a little skin in this game.”

Betts agrees, and now four decades in — from founding it with Jerry Schmidt and a small group of volunteers, to playing every year with his sons even to this day — he’s learned it has become much, much more than the struggle to put a basketball through a metal hoop.

“We got this thing started, then pretty soon you’ve got children and grandchildren playing,” Betts thinks back, “and before you know it, it’s more than a basketball event — it’s a reunion. Now, finally, it’s time for us all to get back to that.”

NORTHERN QUEST

CENTER COURT N

ot only is Hoopfest making its triumphant return to the summer schedule, but it’s also moving into fancy new digs. Northern Quest Center Court is now located under the newly refurbished Pavilion in Riverfront Park, and it’s been a long time coming.

“It’s the perfect, perfect venue for us,” says Hoopfest Executive Director Riley Stockton. “Having Northern Quest Center Court there will really connect the two sides of Hoopfest, the north bank and downtown. It’s going to connect it all together.”

In fact, if you flash back to 2014, when the Spokane public decided to invest in sprucing up Riverfront Park, making it a place for events was high on the list. Many improvements for the Pavilion — from shade to a huge, flat floor to lots of power sources for events — were all included with Hoopfest specifically in mind.

Hoopfest co-founder Rick Betts was involved in those discussions from the start, and he was a big advocate for including shade, which became an iconic part of the new design.

“Our old location for center court did not have shade,” Betts says, adding that by Sunday afternoon spectators and athletes were often baking out there.

“I think it really is a great change,” Betts adds. “I love the casualness of the way the bank builds up on the east side of the Pavilion. Just the availability to relax on the grass and watch. It’s going to open everything up.”

And with the new location, longtime Hoopfest supporter Northern Quest Resort & Casino has stepped up as the official center court sponsor.

WELCOME TO TOWN! H

oopfest might just be a weekend, but Spokane is Hooptown USA all year round. Launched in 2019, Hooptown USA has quickly become more than just a program; it’s now Spokane’s identity, and the new Hooptown Hall of Fame will be celebrated just before Hoopfest 2022.

There’s more: The Spokane City Council officially designated Spokane as Hooptown USA — it’s even on “Welcome to Spokane” road signs. It’s a way to show just how ingrained and invaluable basketball is in the dayto-day life of our city. So ingrained, in fact, you can tune in to Hooptown Radio on iHeart Media’s 101.5 FM for throwbacks, hip-hop and R&B. Hooptown USA is far more than just a nickname, though — it provides basketball benefits to Spokane on a daily basis. The beautiful new courts on the North Bank of Riverfront Park serve as a centerpiece for the local love of basketball. Community courts

at parks around Spokane have been upgraded and improved over the years as well, cementing Hooptown USA into the city’s infrastructure.

Outdoor leagues in the spring and summer and indoor leagues in the fall (including AAU) bring Spokanites competitive, in-person basketball action to help keep players connected, in-shape and energized all year. With trained officials calling each game, and Spokane Hoopfest handling the logistics, Hooptown USA’s seasonal leagues are the region’s top-tier recreational basketball offerings.

Giving back to the community that built Spokane into Hooptown USA is critical to the program’s mission as well, via events like Embrace WA and the Kids Play Free by Avista initiative, which works with local youth to build their skills on and off the court.

You’re here for the weekend, but Hooptown USA is here for you every day of the year.

HOOPTOWN HALL OF FAME

T

he inaugural class of the Hooptown Hall of Fame was inducted last year, but like the 2021 tournament, the in-person ceremony was canceled. But it’s back, too, and will kick off this year’s Hoopfest, on Thursday, June 23, starting at 6 pm at the North Bank Hoopfest Courts in Riverfront Park, where the year-round Hall of Fame display will continue to grow.

“We’re excited to start honoring some of the people who have meant so much to this basketball community,” says Hoopfest Executive Director Riley Stockton. “It’s a mix of local legends, coaches — the most important people who came through these streets. We hope the Hall of Fame will inspire the next generation, too.”

The permanent installation is located under a refurbished Expo ’74 picnic shelter, just south of the new courts, with winding metal displays telling the stories of the Hall of Famers. Let’s meet the charter members of the Hooptown Hall of Fame; the next class will be added in 2023.

BOBBY JACK SUMLER

The original Hoopfest highlight reel, Sumler was perhaps the best player on the courts in those early years. “I just played because I love basketball and I love to compete,” says the playground legend who earlier led the GSL in scoring at Lewis and Clark.

GEORGE RAVELING (above)

Raveling’s success as the head coach at Washington State University for 11 years — the Pac-8’s first African American head coach, hired in 1972 — helped cement the Inland Northwest’s love of basketball that lives on through Hoopfest.

GONZAGA MEN’S 1999 TEAM

These are the guys that shocked the world and established Gonzaga Basketball as a force to be reckoned with for decades to come. They just missed out on the Final Four, but they won hearts across the nation — and a place in the Hoopfest Hall of Fame.

GET AROUND

HOOPFEST WITH

n 2019, Hoopfest was in the middle of a huge expansion of its mission.

Hoopfest, the beloved weekend event, was to be the centerpiece of something even bigger — Hooptown USA, a new identity for the city, the region and the organization.

“We didn’t exactly know what we were building towards,” said then-Executive Director Matt Santangelo, “but we had a vision.”

They wanted to keep adding new community courts, including the new Riverfront Park Hooptown Court Complex, to add to the three dozen they’d built over the life of Hoopfest.

And they wanted to stamp Hooptown USA branding all over the place, including in a new Hooptown Hall of Fame

right next to the Hooptown complex.

But this vision was so ambitious that bringing it to life was perhaps out of reach. Then they reached out to MultiCare, the Washington-based health care organization that, since 2017, has operated Deaconess, Valley Hospital and the Rockwood Clinic network; it’s the largest not-for-profit, locally owned comprehensive system of health in the state of Washington. The Hoopfest team made their pitch on Saturday morning of Hoopfest 2019, and it all came together: MultiCare pledged $1 million, spread over 10 years, to Hooptown USA as part of its continuing efforts to improve the health of the Inland Northwest community.

“MultiCare’s mission is partnering for healing and a healthy future,” says MultiCare’s chief executive for the Inland Northwest, Alex Jackson, “and our partnership with Hoopfest is a great example of that mission at work.”

And you’ll see them out on the courts, too, as MultiCare has sponsored 50 employee teams to play in this year’s event.

“Our relationship,” says Hoopfest co-found Rick Betts, “it starts with the CEO [Bill Robertson], who brought his family over for the weekend, on-site, he just loves the event. And that sets the tone for the entire organization.

They’ve really expressed that they’re here to help us in any way they can.”

And you can see that commitment, Betts says, in the MultiCare medical tents spread across downtown.

“It’s a huge commitment to just do the medical,” Betts says. “They bring some seriously sophisticated equipment to the event.”

“MultiCare is proud to be the official medical provider for the world’s largest threeon-three basketball tournament and provide all athletes and spectators of Hoopfest world-class health care,” adds MultiCare’s Jackson, regarding the effort led by Hoopfest’s medical director, Dr. Nick Strasser. “Our medical tents are on-site with our dedicated providers ready to take care of you!”

There was so much momentum building in 2019, and then the pandemic popped up, putting it all at risk. Betts credits MultiCare and others for helping Hoopfest survive the biggest challenge it ever faced.

“For both years, major sponsors like MultiCare stayed with us even though we didn’t have an event,” says Betts. “That made all the difference.”

DOUBLE DOUBLE TROUBLE S

pokane basketball legends the Hull sisters have cemented their names in Hoopfest history by landing on the 32nd Hoopfest poster as “The Hulls of Fame.” The reveal of who’s on the poster is always a big moment, and this year it came right on the heels of some of the Hulls’ peak moments as college athletes.

It was late March, and Stanford nation had descended on Spokane as their women’s basketball squad would be playing at the Spokane Arena with a shot at the Final Four on the line. For the Cardinal players, it was a familiar feeling, as they had won the NCAA championship in 2021. For star Stanford seniors Lexie and Lacie Hull, it felt really familiar, as this is their home town.

For years, opponents have not been wrong when they felt like they were seeing double out on the court: Lacie and Lexie are identical twins.

The sisters grew up in Spokane Valley and became stars with the Central Valley Bears, winning two state championships and the GEICO High School 16 SPOKANE HOOPFEST 2022
