It seems like just yesterday that the Jackson Parish Recreation Department (JPRD) youth basketball league began. As the old saying goes time flies when you are having fun. On Saturday, the seven leagues that consisted of close to 200 area boys and girls from the ages of 5-14 that played games virtually every weekend over the last two months played their final games of the year.
“I want to thank everyone who was involved for helping us make this season a great success,” said JPRD Director Tommy Smith. “Through their dedicated effort we were able to provide not only entertainment for our area kids but good instruction on how to compete in an organized activity, which was a main goal that were striving to achieve.”
Below are the results of games played on February 27th. Results from the March 6th games will be published on March 10th.
