ALUMNI BASKETBALL NIGHT - 2007
(Ninth Annual)

The Alumni Basketball Game was a great kick-off for the 2007 Centennial Year. April 27th brought a co-ed team of alumni back to the Beetgarden to challenge a co-ed senior team. The exciting game kept the crowd cheering all night.

Seniors were represented by Katie Christensen, Julianne Egbert, Cami Jones, Brigham Mero, Chase Richards and John Dahl. Assisting them were four alumni: Jared True ('03), Zach Cassita ('04), Cameron Mero ('03) and Weston Bell ('02). One of the lucky senior players will receive a $1000 scholarship donated by Keith Stepan ('57) and the Alumni Association. The team was coached by Dave McConnell.

Hal Hale ('63) coached the alumni team. Players were Spencer Sloan ('99), Aaron Ferre ('99), Tyler Garrison ('91), Torrey Henich ('97), Ryan Allen ('2000), Garan Fabrizio ('01), Tyler Allen ('97), Stephanie Riddle ('06), Liz Frome ('06), Lindsey Lambert ('06), Abrielle Delamar ('05), Alisha Hewlett ('06), Jackson Brown ('99), and Todd Jacobs ('99). Special thanks to Jackson for helping to organize the teams.

High score for the evening was posted by Weston Bell with 20. Jackson Brown was the king of the 3-point shot hitting 6 from outside the circle. The final score was Alumni 98/Seniors 80. This was the ninth Alumni Basketball Night, and the games just keep getting better. It was a real crowd pleaser!

At half-time former players were honored with a Centennial Certificate for participating in Beetdigger Basketball during Jordan's first golden 100 years. Over 50 players were in attendance, the oldest being Sonne Rasmussen ('33).

Almost $4000 dollars was raised for the alumni scholarship fund. Many local businesses donated merchandise and services for door prizes and the silent auction. Items available were rounded up by our hard-working fund raising chair, Joy Bates. We cannot thank her enough for all her hard work. The real winners for the evening were the seniors who will receive scholarships on Senior Awards Night May 31st.

To everyone who attended, played or helped, THANKS FOR A GREAT EVENING! We'll see you all again next year and bring your friends.
