Celebrations of local hoopers from Grand Rapids, MI.

Happy Birthday #35 to RossTy!

Besides brewing up some trouble on the court, our guy RossTy is a starter for the Trail Point Brewing team off the court, as well.

Originally known as the Bus Stop Kid, he’s graduated to full-time Hoops Hero.

Cheers to you, Brother of the Bridges!

Happy Birthday, Sam Awry! #4 turns 43 today

Even in the coldest days of the calendar year the Heavens bring forth the warmth and joy of celebration.

Today, we celebrate the Captain of The Greens, the original Greater Grand Rapids Liger, Sam Awry.

43 years this earth has been blessed with the smooth notes, subtle tones and an unwavering ability to bring the triumphant noise of life to every tribe.

For the last 5 years, we’ve had the privilege of having this guy around in our league and lives.

For that, we are truly blessed.

Thank you, Sam.
