It's time to take basketball attendance to the next level

It probably has not taken long for anyone who reads my writing to know I prefer basketball to football. And yes, I know football season is still kicking with some major games but with the season starting on the hardwood this week, I thought it would be a good time to encourage all high school fans to continue your support for local teams throughout the winter.

I have been in basketball mode for a few weeks now after the NBA tipped off its season in October but the high school season officially kicked off Tuesday when Tallassee hosted Elmore County. There are plenty of reasons for Tiger fans to be excited about the product on the court but it takes more than a few likes on social media or making sure you go to your one token game to show you were there.
