Good luck on getting entrance to Friday’s Mission League basketball game between North Hollywood Harvard-Westlake and host Los Angeles Loyola.

Perhaps sleeping outside the gym is required.

‘Our fans are planning to get there early,’ Harvard-Westlake spokesman Terry Barnum said. ‘They don’t want to get locked out.’

The Loyola gym will be open to fans starting at 3:30 p.m. for the freshman game that starts at 4 p.m. The varsity game is scheduled for 7 p.m. If you don’t make it, I’ll be blogging.

There needs to be a good plan, because the fire marshal had lots of work to do at Harvard-Westlake when these two teams met earlier this season. Too many people were let into the gym, and Loyola is vowing to make sure that doesn’t happen.
