Thank you to Clear Choice Emergency Room for donating tickets to the San Antonio Spurs vs. Boston Celtics game to the head coaches of our three boys high school basketball teams from Martin, Nixon, and Cigarroa High Schools and the girls basketball team coach from Cigarroa High School. These four teams made the playoffs and Clear Choice wanted to recognize them for their hard work and dedication. All three of our boys varsity teams made the playoffs - a feat that hadn’t been achieved in 10 years.
