Men's Basketball involved with the "Big Read" program

On Wednesday, Oct. 6., four University of Dallas basketball players traveled to the Georgia Farrow Recreation Center in Irving, TX, as part of the "Big Read" program. 

The four players -- Billy Gibbs, Drew Assinesi, Jonathan Goodwin and Braeton Hightower -- read the book "Balto" to a group of young people.

In helping "The Big Read" celebrate its fifth year of existence, the players' mission was to encourage reading is for pleasure.
