The Hoosier Gym
Hickory Huskers
Hoosier Gym is Open
Hours: Sunday thru Friday Noon to 5 & Saturday 9 to 5
We will be operating under the following guidelines as we reopen,
these guidelines are necessary for the safety of the visitors and the Hoosier Gym Staff:
1. Visitors must be accompanied by a Gym volunteer at all times.
2. The Governor has mandated masks must be worn in public places. It is the responsibility of the visitor to decide if they are following this mandate or not. The Hoosier Gym volunteer will also decide whether they will wear a mask as talking through a mask is difficult in leading a tour. If the volunteer choses not to wear a mask the responsibility of keeping a 6 foot social distance is on the visitor.
3. Until further notice there will be no open Gym for basketball.
4. Until further notice there will be no rentals.

"Hoosiers" Voted Best Sports Movie Ever
Coach Norman Dale and Hickory have done it again.
In a poll of Associated Press sportswriters and editors, the 1986 classic "Hoosiers" was voted the all-time best sports movie.
The poll was released Friday, with Hoosiers receiving 46 votes among the panel of 70. All of the writers and editors voting in the poll are employed by the AP.
The movie starred Gene Hackman as Dale and was loosely based on the 1954 Milan High School team that stunned its way to the Indiana state title, back in the days when everyone played in one classification -- stacking the odds against smaller schools such as Milan. Or in this case, Hickory.
"Bull Durham" and "Rocky" tied for second place, with "Caddyshack" finishing fourth. The hockey classic "Slap Shot," rounded out the top five.
But, man, those Hickory High Huskers remain at their best when it means the most. “If you put your effort and concentration into playing to your potential, to be the best that you can be, I don't care what the scoreboard says at the end of the game," Dale tells his troops. "In my book, we're gonna be winners."
