Poplar Bluff to honor Tyler Hansbrough

Posted Aug 13, 2009
The Missouri high school basketball court where Tyler Hansbrough dominated for four years will now bear his name. The Poplar Bluff High School Mules never lost a game in the four years Hansbrough played there. He went on to a stellar career at North Carolina and a first-round selection by the NBA's Indiana Pacers. On Thursday, the southeast Missouri school was unveiling Tyler Hansbrough Court.
