Did you know?  While modern basketball features teams of five players each, the first game had nine players on each side. Naismith divided his class of 18 students evenly, with one team trying to score while the other defended. Eventually, the game was refined to the five-on-five format we know today.



On this date in sports:
  • In 1934 the 1st successful penalty shot by a Toronto Maple Leaf Charlie Conacher stopped by New York Ranger Andy Aitkenhead at Madison Square Garden.

ATHLETES OF THE WEEK

Kiera Allen

Kiera is averaging 25 points, 11.5 rebounds, and 4.5 blocks per game over the first three contests this season. She hit the go-ahead free throw with 7 seconds left to lift the team to victory over Mayfield on Friday. Kiera is a quiet focused competitive leader on and off the court always supporting her teammates. She often encourages them in practice and games. Kiera was also “caught being golden” singing the national anthem before our home contest last week
