Jan. 25, 2012 —
During Saturday night’s East vs. West girls matchup, youngsters from both sides of the county had the chance to get in on some basketball action.
Future East and West stars had a great time; running, gunning, and taking advantage of their time to shine.
Kentucky Basketball Hall of Fame retired Raiders head coach Charles Baker tied up his sneakers as he officiated the MTXE competition.
MTXE halftime youth basketball has been a mainstay at East Carter for many years, standing for Mental Toughness and Extra Effort.
This is the byline that East Carter abides by, that also represents a non-profit charitable foundation.
