"There are really only 2 plays: Romeo and Juliet, and put the darn ball in the basket"

- Abe Lemmons





So, today we're talking Basketball. Our basketball tournament will be played at the Taylorsville Recreation Center and will be the 18th, 19th and 20th of August. Remember that you should be wearing matching shirts otherwise things could get really confusing!


Here are some fun facts for you personal info!

Did you know?

• James Naismith, a teacher at a YMCA in Springfield, Massachusetts, is credited with inventing basketball in 1891.
• The game became an official Olympic event at the Summer Games in Berlin, Germany in 1936.
• On March 2, 1962, Philadelphia center Wilt Chamberlain scored 100 points in one game against New York. That is the most one player has ever scored in one game.
• The first “hoops” were actually just peach baskets and the first backboards were made of wire.
