I rolled up to Albertville High about an hour before game time March 12.
As a senior citizen, a ripe old 66, it was a no-brainer where I was heading first. Nope, it wasnât the gym. I had to find a restroom after my hourâs drive from Huntsville.
That mission completed. I drove around the school and found a parking spot in front of the gymnasium. The games were already underway for the state 12-and-under basketball tournament March 12-14.
The Redstone team had a great start in pool play with a 44-12 win over Hamilton. But the next day proved disappointing.
