There were plenty of familiar faces on the hardwood.
Several alums, unafraid of their skills not quite being what they once were, returned for “Alumni Basketball Night” on December 29.
Participants played in three games at the Jr./Sr. High School Gym. An “Old Timers” game, featuring players who graduated before 2000, tipped-off at 5:00 p.m. It was followed by a “Lady Bulldogs” game, featuring female alumni, and a “21st Century” game, featuring male alumni who graduated after 2000.
