Basketball holds a special place in the hearts of those who live in Almonte...
After all, James Naismith, who invented the game, grew up here.
The game, as now played, differs a bit from the one he first invented. For one thing, the "baskets" now have openings in the bottom to allow the ball to pass through!
But an interesting coincidence: my grandson's first taste of basketball is in a school that bears James Naismith's name!
