This week’s warm weather says it all, says Payne resident Chad Cluts, who is assisting in the organization of this year’s Crippled Children and Adult Society Basketball Marathon.

“Once the weather warmed up, I knew it was close,” said Cluts. “It’s hard to believe that it’s almost here. We really need teams to register for this. Last year was a banner year for us; as always, registration kind of gets off to a slow start, but we need for those who plan to be a part of this year’s marathon to get their registrations in.”

The due date for team registration is March 22.
