WOW!!!
Great turnout from all aspects of the community!!! From the talented youth to the supporters to the other local/regional/national contributioners who made Basketball Fusion 2008 a night to remember.
The basketball action from the tournament, competitions, awards and prizes, were well complemented by the musical atmosphere with the talented performers, allstar cheerleaders, brake dancers and spoken word.
GREAT NIGHT!!!
