The Albert Lea boys’ basketball team held its first-ever hoop-a-thon this past weekend, and it was a big success.

Past, present and future Tiger basketball players shot free throws for over an hour and a half at Albert Lea High School.

It was a night full of smiles, high-fives, teaching, shooting and Tiger pride.

Albert Lea held the hoop-a-thon to raise money for new uniforms.
