The professional team, part of an organization called The Basketball League (the country’s third largest pro basketball division), is in its third year of existence 鈥� their first in Purcellville, Virginia, after spending two years in Winchester.

In today鈥檚 episode of 鈥淢att About Town,鈥� 草莓传媒鈥檚 Matt Kaufax laced up his basketball shoes and went out to Patrick Henry College in Purcellville, also known as the “Viper Pit,” where he practiced with the Vipers squad in the place where they play their home games.

There, he talked to players, coaches and owners to learn more about the team and their connection to the local community.
