Alisal Union kicks off basketball league

About 450 children are expected to participate in the district's first annual basketball league, which will kick off Saturday at 11 a.m. at Martin Luther King Academy in Salinas. Ten coaches has been hired for ten of the school sites, said Francisco Estrada Jr., coordinator of the program. Superintendent John Ramirez and the board of trustees are expected to lead an inaugural ceremony at 12:30 p.m. In these day and age of childhood obesity, having more sports available at school sites is key, so way to go, Alisal students!
