Our Tommies Varsity Ladies Basketball team put on a great clinic for some Tommies-in-training on Sunday, December 12 (Image gallery: Tommies Helping Tommies: The Women). The team, lead by Mrs. Tucker, instructed the Tommies Minor Basketball Association Jr. Mini (grades 3 - 5) and Mini (grades 5-6) teams in some offensive and defensive drills, wrapping up the afternoon with some team play. A big thanks to our Tommies for paying it forward and serving as positive role models for the next generation of Tommies.
