While most countries are watching the World Cup, locally, a competitive tradition continues. The 13th annual Taylor Press 3-on-3 Basketball Tournament is set for July 11-12 at Taylor High School.

“The goal is to promote a fun, safe and competitive atmosphere. It’s not about basketball, it’s about giving back to the community,” said Jason Hennington, tournament director. “Basketball is just the avenue.”

The tournament raises money for two local scholarships and a donation to a local nonprofit. Since it began in 2013, the tournament has grown and brought visitors to Taylor. Athletes and spectators look forward to the second weekend in July yearround.
