DES MOINES, Iowa – The Drake men's and women's basketball teams were on display last night for the fourth annual Drake Hoops Fest in downtown Des Moines. Bulldog fans flocked to Brenton Skating Plaza where the festivities were being held.

The night started with a Youth Clinic for area kids. Players from both the men's and women's teams guided dozens of local youth hoopers through shooting, passing, defense, and other drills.

The Drake-centric events began at 6 p.m. with a performance by the Bulldog cheer and dance teams. Then, the Bulldog volleyball, cross country, and men's soccer teams were introduced to the crowd ahead of a packed weekend on Drake's campus.
