The Huntsville-based Alabama Lasers AAU basketball team, that includes Fayette players Alex Underwood, Alex Quesenberry, Colby Driver and Malik Billups, recently concluded their summer season.

Although the team was slated to play at the Pyramid in Memphis this past weekend, they learned more about the game of life through a team meeting after the tournament was cancelled.

“Even though we didn’t play, we talked to the kids about more than basketball,” said Chris Nalls, who helps with the team.

In a group discussion, the coaches spoke with the players about being accountable and being prepared. The players were advised to contact their guidance counselors at their respective schools to see of they are on course and to do their best in school. “They are not all going to play in the NBA,” said Nalls. “That doesn’t mean they can’t have a trade or continue on to college.”

Appreciation was expressed to those in the community who helped with contributions and support for the Lasers league. It is the Lasers mission to provide youth an opportunity to excel academically, socially and athletically.
