Midday Madness builds excitement for hoops season

Tallassee officially kicked off its season on the hardwood Tuesday night against Elmore County but the Tigers have been building some excitement around the two programs since last season ended. Thursday, Tallassee hosted a Midday Madness event to show off some skills from both teams to students and fans as the Tigers tried for one last push to draw more attention to the court before the season began.

“It was pretty full in the gym so I’d say it was well worth it,” Tallassee boys coach Keiven Mixson said. “Any time you can do something to promote your program, that helps. The excitement will draw some people into the games.”
