The seniors of Hall County’s basketball teams heard from someone who once was in their shoes when he experienced an outpouring of support after a family tragedy. They also received a glimpse into the world of the children they help through toys they collected and delivered Thursday morning to the Edmondson-Telford Center for Children in Gainesville. Giving back was a central theme during a breakfast held Thursday at the center in association with the upcoming 55th Lanierland Tournament, which starts Dec. 27 at West Hall.
