Under the direction of long-time director Robert Donaldson, the MHLC has sponsored a youth basketball league for local kids. Participants of the youth league must maintain a high GPA in their classes as well as attend 10 lectures on subjects such as AIDS, drugs, and the responsibilities of a male. Currently more than 500 children and young adults participate in these programs.

Back on campus, the Tigers will begin practice next week in anticipation of the 2009-10 season beginning Nov. 14.
