Liberty Bell High School graduates who think they still have some “hops” are invited to play in a pair of benefit games against the Mountain Lions’ 2014-15 varsity basketball teams on March 14 at the high school gym.
The Liberty Bell Alumni Classic — which could become an annual event — will feature the varsity girls’ team vs. the alumni women at 7 p.m., followed by the boys’ varsity taking on the men’s alumni at 8:30 p.m.
The fundraiser will support sending Liberty Bell players to summer basketball camps and tournaments. Admission is $5. Concessions will be available.
There will also be a raffle and silent auction featuring items donated by local businesses.
Connor Walsh, 2008 graduate of LBHS and a former standout performer for the boys’ basketball team, is coordinating the event. Men and women alumni who are interested in playing can contact Walsh at connorwalsh5@yahoo.com or (509) 429-1095.
At halftime of the girls/alumni women game, there will be a three-point shootout between five varsity boys and five alumni men; and a team shooting competition pairing students and alumni.
