YTC Weekly



As we start this weeks report I would like to take the opportunity here to remind readers about the book that Marv Seyer has put together on the history of the Yellowstone Trail Conference Men’s Basketball tournaments 1950-2000. The material covers not only the YTC, but also gives you snippets of information on the state tournaments and other basketball items of interest from those years. Marv did just a great job on this and if you were a part of any of YTC tournaments this is a must have and even if you weren’t but just enjoy sports history I would recommend this book. I haven’t checked with Marv to see if books are still available but if they are you can order them online by going to the Yellowstone Trail Conference Men’s Basketball tournament 1952-1990 South Dakota facebook page or through the mail to Marv Seyer, 400 11th St. Ipswich,SD 57451.
