To build a program, you have to start young — and that’s exactly what Reeltown is doing.
For the first time ever, Reeltown will be creating a youth basketball league, which will be led by Reeltown girls basketball coach LD Bell and First Baptist pastor Tim Smith. And so far, the community is eager to get things underway with Bell noting 125 to 130 kids have already signed up to participate.
