Why this matters in Terrell Hills News
The sudden departure of Dusty May from Michigan's basketball program may seem like a distant concern for Terrell Hills residents, but it has implications for the local sports landscape. As San Antonio area fans follow the NBA's Dallas Mavericks, they'll be keeping a close eye on May's transition to the professional league.
