Webster – The basketball courts were buzzing last Thursday night when the Webster summer basketball league kicked off its sixteenth season in style at the Bartlett High School outdoor basketball courts.

Several local high school stars and many up-and-coming youngsters were on hand playing hoop and having fun in front of a nice gathering of fans.

Among those on hand were local high school stars Brook Packard from Shepherd Hill, Gigi Guenther, who is from Webster and plays for Worcester powerhouse Holy Name, and most of the Bartlett Indians’ returning varsity players, including Akeem Belnavis, Alex Givens-Perry, and co-captain Matt Huberdault.

The league is run and operated by Bartlett High School head basketball coach Tony Paranto and drew excellent talent from Webster and the surrounding towns.

Here is the remaining schedule. Come on down and check out some great basketball fun: June 8th (Fri.), June15th (Fri.), June 17th (Sunday), June 22nd (Fri.), June 28th (Thurs.), July 1st (Sunday), July 6th (Fri.), July 13th (Semis), July 20th (Finals)
