Founded by local entrepreneur Lewis Shine, the Professional Hoops Association is a pro sports league. It focuses on building communities. It also provides a pro setting for under the radar college graduates to gain the professional experience to advance to higher levels of professional hoops.
The Hammond Ambassadors will host the Michigan City Lights 7 p.m. July 19 at Calumet College of St. Joseph's Rittenmeyer Athletic Center in Whiting. A special recognition for Northwest Indiana innovators will take place at halftime. Learn more here.
