Kyle Hankins — who just finished his first season as the boys’ basketball coach at Clarksville — put the right perspective on the first Kentuckiana Summer Basketball League Outdoor Night as hundreds flocked to the top-notch courts at Kevin Hammersmith Memorial Park in New Albany.

“It’s great environment, pitting some Kentucky and Indiana teams against each other right across the river. It’s all in good fun. It’s about getting better and learning. The told my players, the only thing I’ll get on you about is your attitude and the way you carry yourself, and if you’re a good teammate or not.”

Hankins said he wanted everyone to simply have some fun on a warm summer night.

“We’re just worried about getting better as a program,” he said. “No world championships are being won on June 3.”

The Clarksville boss said everyone should appreciate the facility.

“It’s an amazing facility, not only the basketball, but the water park and the playground. It’s a great place for people to come to and enjoy sports. “
