WINONA LAKE – March Madness is fast approaching Kosciusko County. Grace College, who hosts the 2016 NCCAA Div. I Men’s and Women’s Basketball National Championships, has released the official tournament logo.

The unique national event, held March 16-19 at the Manahan Orthopaedic Capital Center, features 16 premier men’s and women’s college basketball teams in the nation.
