The Gus Macker three-on-three basketball tournament is making a big comeback in Zanesville, and the community is already showing its support. Organizers have raised more than $33,000 in sponsorships for the 2027 event, surpassing their $30,000 goal. This marks an exciting milestone in reviving a beloved local tradition.

For those who remember, the Gus Macker tournament was a summer staple in Zanesville, drawing teams and fans for years. It last took the courts around 2011 or 2012, but a dedicated group of organizers is working hard to bring it back. The extra funds will help ensure the 2027 event is bigger and better than ever.

This isn't just about basketball—it's about community, competition, and creating lasting memories. Whether you're a former player or just love the game, the return of Gus Macker promises to reignite that classic streetball energy. Start planning your team and get ready to hit the court in 2027.
