Beginning October 1st I will be taking a one-year Basketball journey, covering Girls/Womens hoops in IA, MN, ND, NE, SD and WI for a full calendar year, with 3-5 posts a day and no off days except for major Holidays. I will be living a true "road trip", living on the road for the full 365 days. I hope you will enjoy the coverage and support the effort if possible. More info on the journey coming soon. Thanks, Chuck Thompson

If you have any basketball related events in October or suggestions for our Places To Go or Places To Eat, please email me at ctdiesel@yahoo.com and I'll try to get them into my schedule. Thanks.
