Tracie Colquett, who coaches a team with her husband, Lex, and also has a daughter, Allie, who plays Upward Basketball, is flying solo this day as she prepares her team for the second half of play. I decided to coach because I like the game of basketball, and I like that this teaches about Christ and God's work. Colquett said kids getting a start playing and enjoying basketball this young may mean a bright future for the basketball programs in area schools. These kids are having fun and learning to love the game. As the game ends, parents head into the White Star Cafe, where hamburgers and hot dogs grilled by volunteers, along with other snacks, are available.
Any profits go to the basketball program.
