Season one of the Mid-South Basketball Association is nearly complete with the regular season wrapping up June 1. The league went through some “growing pains” as many first-year operations go, but MSBA President Charles Hickman was pleased with the start.
“When we formed our goal was to give teams an option for competitive basketball with a regional footprint, stated Hickman. “With a few bumps along the way, I think we did a decent job for Season 1. We are excited for what we are building!”
League awards were announced before a four-team playoff tournament will be contested, tentatively scheduled for June 15-16. Kentucky Flash will host.
