The Central Basketball League, based out of Topeka, announced Sunday that Marysville will host a franchise team for the league, beginning next season.
The yet-to-be-announced minor league team will have a name chosen by fans of Marysville and the surrounding area, according to a news release by the league.
“We want to bring a great team that the city can count on for years to come” said CBL League President Shawn Smith. “We will have teams in Kansas, Nebraska, Iowa to cover the Midwestern states of basketball.”
Tryouts for the team will be announced at a future date.
Teams that will make up the new Central Basketball League are currently playing independently or in the American Basketball Association.
