Never mind the rumblings that 2017 would be Hoops in the Highlands’ last year. The uncommonly cold weather didn’t stop teams and spectators alike from participating in the event, which neighborhood schools have hosted since 2004.
We asked readers for their favorite photos of the event, from students bundled up in between games to action shots on the court. Here are a few of the highlights.
