Nederland Middle-Senior HS Community,

Today we had our first March Madness 3 on 3 tournament run by the Ned Student Council. With my Michigan State Spartans being knocked out of the NCAA tournaments last week, I jumped in and played on a team here today. It was a fun time had by all.

Have a great weekend,

Gavan
