Semi-pro basketball comes to Kyle

With a red, white and blue basketball in hand, John Hollmon (right) prepares to drive the lane against an opponent in an exhibition match for the recently formed Kyle Stallions semi-professional basketball team. The Stallions, which is run by General Manager Geoff Harner, will begin its inaugural season in the American Basketball Association (ABA) in November. The team will compete in both the Texas and Gulf Coast divisions and will play its home games at Lehman High. The ABA, which was founded in 1967, is comprised of former NBA, NCAA Division I and II and international players. (photo by Moses Leos III)
