Connor Walsh, left, in a 2008 photo that appeared in the Methow Valley News, is organizing the varsity-alumni games this Saturday at Liberty Bell High School. Walsh was a member of the Mountain Lions team that took third place at the state tournament that year.
Former Liberty Bell High School basketball players will take on the Mountain Lions’ 2014-15 varsity basketball teams in a benefit event on Saturday (March 14) at the high school gym.
The Liberty Bell Alumni Classic 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.
