The Plainview-Elgin-Millville (PEM) Boys Basketball program presented the officiating crew with brown gift bags attached to a detailed, signed letter expressing deep appreciation for the officials' role in the game.

The letter featured a black-and-white team photo and a powerful message acknowledging that "Without YOU – We don't play," while highlighting the team's core values of respect and constant self-improvement. This personalized gesture went beyond standard hospitality, serving as a testament to the character-building culture instilled within the PEM Boys program.

The Kasson Mantorville Boys Basketball team welcomed the RAOA officiating crew with a thoughtful display of sportsmanship. Upon entering the locker room, officials found blue gift bags containing a sports drink, pretzels, and chocolate, accompanied by a custom "Thank You" label featuring the Komets logo. This kind gesture of hospitality was highly appreciated by the crew and set a positive, respectful tone for the evening's contest.
