The Manchester Youth Hoops participants including fifth and sixth grade kids, did an organized demonstration during the half time of Monday night’s varsity game against Addison. The program is run by Manchester High School graduate Jake LaCross.

“Jake is doing a fantastic job with the kids and they are having a ton of fun,” said varsity basketball coach, Zach Neal. “The future is bright for Manchester basketball, thanks to this program.”
