SATF hosts interfacility basketball games – CDCR
Front page, Rehabilitation, Sports in CDCR
The Substance Abuse Treatment Facility (SATF) and State Prison at Corcoran hosted interfacility basketball games between Facilities E and G followed by E and F.
Even though the games were held on separate days, they provided a great opportunity for the population on those facilities to test their skills against one another.
It should also be noted the coveted “Top Dawg” title belt, currently held by Facility F, was at stake. The belt, created by the population, goes to the winning team until the next tournament.
SATF staff and population were also entertained by Facilities F and G bands who provided continuous music. Before the games began, the Facility F Veterans Group presented the colors while the band performed a rendition of the Star-Spangled Banner. Throughout the event, staff and population could be seen smiling and enjoying the event.
“Events like this really bring everyone together,” said one of the people attending the games.
The sportsmanship demonstrated by the teams’ players was commended by all who attended.
In the end, Facility F retained the “Top Dawg” belt.
