The PBA has announced that the Temple Hawks have been awarded a franchise for the 2021 Pro Basketball Association Spring-Summer season. Team owner Alton Nicholson has been instrumental in putting Temple on the map in the State hoop scene and now he’s taking them National.

Temple, Texas is located about halfway between Austin and Waco and for players from that area to have an opportunity to take their games to a higher level it takes an organization willing to travel and play on a bigger stage. There is a lot of high level players in the Killeen, Copperas Cove, and Temple areas. They have zero problems putting together a team that can win games a high level from those areas and Austin and Waco but to play other teams of their caliber requires being willing to go to Austin, go to Dallas, go to Houston, go to San Antonio and a leader like Nicholson is what helps so many have the platform to reach that next level. The Temple Hawks will play in the Dallas bubble format in Lewisville, Texas (suburb in North Dallas) in the PBA beginning in May.

Players, coaches, scouts, team managers, owners and agents will be convening at the MAC on April 3rd for the PBA Pro Combine and Draft. The Pro Basketball Association aims to bring professionalism, organization, and a platform that highlights the abilities of it’s players and coaches for overseas opportunity and as such one of the highest levels of pro basketball domestically outside of the NBA.
