Around 130 children attended the Salem Capitals and See Ya Later Foundation’s youth basketball clinic held Aug. 15 and 16 at McNary High School. 

Members of the Salem Capitals and McNary High School girls basketball coached the clinic, which was the first for See Ya Later in more than three years. 

Even with triple-digit weather and no air conditioning in the McNary gym, smiles were all over the faces of players and coaches alike.
