Winning isn’t everything
Winning is nice, but this picture proves that the Marshall Youth basketball team can still have fun despite going 0-3 Saturday. Their final tournament at Whitewater High School was not kind to them, but they proved that they can still laugh in the face of adversity. I’m sorry to admit that Hannah started this little [...]
Hannah’s basketball tournament
