This morning we are talking more this morning about the bradley county youth that ball all-stars opening ceremonies that are coming up tonight.

No one in the be safe.

I we athlete them.

However, bradley county and cleveland representing right here this morning for basketbal and joining us now is bartley norton and the mastermind behin this whole program of ethics is the interview earlier about what's going on tonight.

So tonight starting at 5 o'clock the gates will open at oakwood middle school and wide-open ceremonies in these opening ceremonies for these kids are a lot like the nba all-stars so we highlights are blacked out.

Where professional lighting and sound crews that come in the go run at the tunnel of fog and smoke really the screens.

It's really something to see.

It's really cool because students like sailor and maybe here they are talking to all these kids that are coming in from elementary rules across the area.

What message that you hope to get across bailey ... i encourages into light keep their head up and have will for the game because it will take you for well sailor to enjoy th experience something i'll never forget.

So just a standalone.

What you remember as a young ki coming through on this program and going through and just all the people the likely bartley was talking about it in your bath ball abilities just as a fun experience and action got my vp trophy taken from them by bo campbell to establish a good experience and they should encourage the mother basketball i'm sure in all your lives, and there's a lot of sponsors that helped you all make it happen and will talk a little but more about that and how they have made an impact on going on absolutely without them honestl know things can happen.

But i'v since last fall, will paving really concrete in both of my partners in the big sponsors a us army as well as chick-fil-a route brothers construction, land rover, infinity and portions of chattanooga source of carwash sports clips and coc- cola and cbc of cleveland.

A lo of sponsors are able to make this happen and encourage the kids and the community they ask about absolute without you, bradley county is known for having some pretty amazing basketball tears throughout the years.

How is this program does help incurs that you think you know, one of the things that we always try to do is make sure that they understand the you can't just be a leader on the court jostling the leader off the court.

I think that's a great representation of our schools you know cleveland high school boys of the number one team.

Right now the state bradley high school girls are the number one team in the state.

We got great players that come through this program and were very fortunate in bradley county to have such outstanding not only athletes but leaders so you must see these guys play basketball, but there's also a lovely ship that you would want to see off the court's kismet great grades are all getting great scholarships are doing great things in churches and th subprograms those of the things that i think are also important is not just that there basketball players for who they are as a whole individual great families great coaches.

Our community is blessed to have such wonderful people of leadership in such a true testament to your program to have all these kids here today wanted to come and talk about next grant and make an impact on the next-generation becoming up such a blessing to have you got here this morning.

Thank you so much for being here right now for me tonight what time tellin him where the oakwood school gates open at 5 o'clock.
