We appreciate all the parents who took time out of their busy schedules for their kids, and the coaches for their time, effort and dedication toward their players and Town Hall basketball, as well as the sponsors that helped supplement Town Hall’s revenue that keeps the costs down for the parents. Jessica and Brennen Priefer, and Rachel Teeguarden gave their time, are always reliable and keep it fun as scorekeepers and referee.
