• The Importance of Community Centers

Four points, three rebounds, an assist and a turnover in 22 minutes of playing time. That was my stat line Sunday afternoon after the first game of team "Foul Play" in the Superstar Basketball Gold League. We lost to team "Flashbacks" by one, 45-44, but considering we're made up mostly of out-of-shape guys who haven't played basketball in awhile, it wasn't a bad first showing.
