• A high school basketball game @ Madras high school – Yes, you read that correctly. I have to say, it’s one of the best places to watch a game. If your in Bend, when your team plays @ Madras, you should go. Here’s why: they have great community support, a loud crowd with a cool gym and they run and gun which means a lot of points and fast-paced play. It’s like a mini road trip.
