Taunton Tigers The origins of a basketball team in Taunton stem back to the late 1980s. In 1990, the team were called Taunton Community Basketball Club competing in South West Division Two. Ronnie Heath joined as a player and coach and by 1992 the team had rebranded as Taunton Tigers. During the 1990s, the team progressed up through the local leagues coached by Ian Hunt before competing in the
National Basketball League. Taunton Tigers were founder-members of the new NBL Division Three in 1997. Finishing in a respectable fifth place they were promoted to Division Two, as the higher divisions were expanding. The move proved fully justified, as they finished runners-up in 1999 and won the playoffs moving the team straight into Division One. Rejoining the national league Division Three West in 2004-05 saw the team perform well, earning them third place overall. to NBL Division One. The club finished eighth in the league in their maiden season, avoiding relegation. The following 2008-09 season brought disappointment, just two wins were recorded in the league, and they finished bottom, missing out on the post-season. Despite this, they remained in the top division for the following 2009-10 season which was expanded to twelve teams. The team won twelve league matches and seventeen overall, and enjoyed their greatest success in Division One. At the club's
annual general meeting in 2010, it was revealed that the club was heavily in debt. The club's committee resigned, and combined with a number of key players announcing their retirement, the club were forced to withdraw from Division One.
England Basketball would not let the club drop to Division Two, and instead the club had to move to Division Four. In 2010-11, the team won their first season in Division Four South West, recording seven wins in the league and thirteen overall, and competed in Division Three South in the 2011–12 season, but came seventh. From 2010-17, the Taunton Tigers Basketball Charity (1137558) helped fund team activities and associated community projects. When this was disbanded, all funds were transferred to the Somerset Activity and Sports Partnership (SASP).
Huish Tigers In 2013, the Taunton Tigers became the Huish Tigers being based at the
Richard Huish College following a long partnership together. In 2017-18 and 2018-19, the team were runners up in the
National Basketball League Division Four South West. In 2019-20 the team played in the NBL Division Three South West coming fourth overall. Unfortunately due to the
COVID-19 pandemic the remaining 2020-21 season was cancelled. Since 2021, the team has competed in the Somerset Basketball League (SBL). In 2021-22 and 2024-25 Huish Tigers were the SBL league and playoff champions, runners up in the 2022-23 playoffs and third place in the 2023-24 league. ==Season-by-season records==
