Bastrop ballers claim Taylor 3-on-3 title

TAYLOR — The Taylor Press 3-on-3 Basketball Tournament last week kept players locked in with high-level competition and community connection — and four Bastrop athletes drove home with new rings on their fingers. 

After more than a decade, the Taylor Press — sister newspaper of the Courier — continues to improve on a winning formula and draw in local talent. The 12th annual rendition of the 3-perside format registered a total of 35 teams across four divisions, making it the second-largest turnout since the tournament began in 2013, according to organizers.
