The Milliken-Silva
basketball league was begun fifty years ago by Frank Milliken and Larry
Silva to give Fall River youth an opportunity to play competitive
basketball in the elementary and middle-school years. Begun in the Wixon
School gym, the program recently moved to the Talbot Middle School and
the new elementary school facility at the Spencer-Borden school on
President Avenue. Boys' teams are organized from the 3rd to the 8th
grades. Any Fall River resident is welcome to sign up when the season
begins in October. A small fee is charged to help support the teams, but
the fee can be waived if the expense would be a hardship. For
further information, contact Attorney Thomas Quinn III at 508-673-1116. |
