With our own Fall 2024 season just a week away, we wanted to give a massive shout out to our friends over at Eagle Basketball Association !

Best of all, the new League directly supports Youth who participate in the Messalonskee Basketball Program!

Good luck to the nearly forty MBL alumni who will be part of the upstart League's debut coming up tomorrow morning ( Sun, Sep 8 ) at Messalonskee High School. Congratulations to Sam Smith and his behind-the-scenes team on making it all happen. The MBL family wishes you tremendous luck and success in your new venture!
