Hastings Basketball: Hastings News

Hastings Basketball recognized as "Youth Green Team" 

The City of Hastings and Tennis Sanitation have teamed up to offer an exciting program designed to involve youth groups to help increase the recycling of mixed papers throughout the community!

How the program works:

Tennis Sanitation has provided a recycling container that is located in the parking lot at Terry’s Hardware, 375 West 33rd Street.

Paper materials, including cardboard, magazines, newspapers, junk mail and box board (cereal, cookie and cracker boxes) can be placed in the recycling container.

Hastings Basketball is in charge of the recycling container January 1st - March 31st. 

How will Hastings Basketball benefit?

As a reward for these efforts, Hastings Basketball will receive $15/ton for all the mixed papers collected in the recycling box during the three month block of time.  Additionally, the group is recognized as the “Youth Green Team” by the Hastings City Council and Tennis Sanitation.

The Green Mill and Nine Eagles once again sponsored the Rivertown Days 3 on 3 Basketball Tournament.  Originally scheduled to be played at the Schoolhouse Square, Mother Nature had a different idea!  Rain moved this years 3 on 3 tournament indoors to the Hastings High School.  Over 30 teams competed in this years 3 on 3 tournament in both boys and girls divisions.  

Hastings Basketball Boosters sponsored a float in the Rivertown Days Parade.  More than 25 Traveling and In-House players (along with volunteer parents) handed out more than a thousands mini basketballs and candy during the parade.
