120 Teens Participated in One Way 2 Play Drug Free Basketball League
Few people visiting the Mission on Saturdays from January through April could find a parking spot. The reason? 120 teens were participating in a basketball program that involved Bible study and a commitment to remain drug and alcohol free during the season. Olivet Institutional Baptist Church won the tournament.
