How close is Tuscaloosa to becoming a basketball town?
Based on the success area teams on the high school and college levels have had of late, we may be closer than any of us realize.
In a span of a few weeks, Bryant High School and Hale County High School won boy's state titles. Meanwhile, the Shelton State men's and women's teams captured Alabama Community College Conference state crowns, qualifying both for upcoming NJCAA Division I Tournaments. Then, on Saturday, the UA women's wheelchair basketball team defeated Texas-Arlington, 57-48, capturing its fifth national title since 2009 in the process.
