We may be a little bias, but we believe the best cheeseburgers are at Rotary Field on Friday nights! Stop by the concession stand tonight at the Dresden High School homecoming football game to grab you one for “National Cheeseburger Day”.

Today’s Rotary meeting program was presented by David Campbell talking about high school basketball games from the days of old to include one particular game that set a record for having nine overtimes. That program led to discussion about current high school basketball rules, particularly related to the lack of a shot clock. This post is made as an update to today’s program for Club members interested.

A 35-second shot clock will be added to TSSAA basketball games after a Board of Control vote on June 9. See link below ⬇️
