Terlingua Basketball

No gym... just open sky. They call it the Sky Dome and generations of kids have played basketball out in the wide open. The Sky Dome and Terlingua's basketball team have been highlighted in a several articles (2007, 2009, and 2021). Since the school's inception in 1996, all girls have played on the outdoor court, surrounded by dirt, gravel, and the open desert. In July 2022, Terlingua will have its own multipurpose building including a gym for the beloved sport. No more sliding in the gravel when a ball goes out of bounds: Link to Article in October 2021 Big Bend Gazette
