Basketball: A Long-Standing Tradition in Sanford
This weekend marks the 77th anniversary of one of the most important moments in Sanford basketball history. In 1949, our Sanford boys captured the Class B State Championship, bringing home the very first state title in school history and starting a proud tradition that continues to this day.
Go Big Green!
