The Taylorville Kiwanis Club heard from the head boys basketball coach at Taylorville High School, at its Tuesday meeting at the Taylorville Moose Lodge.

Ryan Brown is in his ninth year of coaching, and shared with Kiwanis members that several new opponents are coming to THS this season to experience Taylorville’s Historic gym. Minooka High School, Kaneland High School of Maple Park, Illinois, Limestone High School and Gary Comer  College Prep High School of Chicago will be playing on the Dolph Stanley Court for the first time this season, according to Brown. Jerseyville High School has also been added back to THS schedule.

Coach Brown is very excited for this season as the team has lots of returning players to vie for the very competitive Apollo Conference championship.   Practice begins November Eleventh, and he added season tickets are selling well.

The Taylorville Kiwanis Club is part of a global organization of volunteers dedicated to improving the world one child and one community at a time.  Weekly meetings are held Tuesdays at noon at the Taylorville Moose Lodge.  For information on the club, go to taylorvillekiwanis.com.
