This town only cares about bringing in tourists and what the tourists want. I guess basketball just isn’t something that tourists want.

I can imagine that the backboards were removed upon sale of the school property out of concern for liability in case someone is hurt playing there.
As an avid tennis player I am not in favor of losing one of only two courts available to the public in the Town of Cape Charles. Only four people can use a court at one time so it is easy for both courts to be used at the same time. Certainly a case can be made for converting one of the courts to basketball use, but then we lose one of our tennis courts. The Town is committed to providing another basketball court so we should wait for that to happen instead.
