Tuesday - March 9: Wellsville's Revitalization Committee met Tuesday evening at DaLonzo's Restaurant. Present at the meeting was Connie Carmichael. Sharon Buswell, Joyce Lynn, Ruth Ensinger, Nick DaLonzo, Anna Mace and Beverly & Lon Hentzell. Mr. Hentzell recently took over the duties of treasurer for the Committee.
It was announced that plans for the East Liverpool "Celebrity Alumni Basketball Game" are completed. The game will be played at the Potter Fieldhouse on Friday, March 26. Doors open at 5:30 P.M. with the tip off scheduled for 7 o'clock. Tickets are $5 and can be bought in Wellsville at Air Waves, the Carriage House II or Gibby's Mini Mart.
Representing the "Tiger Pride" from the ville are players Quinny Carter, Lon Hentzell, Phil Boyce, Mike Betz, Keith Miller, John Bucher, Bud D'Angelo and possibly Bill Heldman. Cheerleaders for the Wellsville crew are Vicky Burgess, Toni Figley, Sally Dowling, Phyllis Mick and Rosalie Call.
Plans for the 2nd Annual Old Gray Mayor's Basketball Game were gone over. The 'Angels" from the Alley Cat Aid Brigade will be in charge of cooking & selling the hot dogs. There will be chilly dogs, kraut dogs or just regular hot dogs. Candy Bangor will be in charge of the 50/50 and ad sales. Joyce Lynn will be in charge of ticket sales at the door and keeping a list of all donors. Sharon Buswell & Ruth Ensinger will be taking care of the concession stand. Connie Carmichael will also be in charge of getting tickets made up and distributed. Anybody wanting to be an Alumni Cheerleader should contact Faye Lombardozzi. Ed Bauer will be the announcer for the event.
The game is scheduled for Saturday, May 1. Wellsville's Mayor Joe Surace & East Liverpool's Jim Swogger have already committed to once again lead up the battling squad of players. Players must be old enough to qualify for the "Old Gray" classification. They don't have to be as old as some of the Mayors but...
In addition to the intense rivalry that always characterizes Tiger vs. Potters games there will be refreshments, a 50/50 and a Chinese Auction.
The next meeting will be Wednesday, March 17 at 6 P.M. at DaLonzo's on Main. Pictured above in last year's blood match is EL Mayor Jim Swogger and Wellsville's Mayor "Jumpin' Joe" Surace.

Nib, a little confused. Is the game March 26th or May 1st?
Confused - Should have specified that there are 2 games being talked about. One is March 26 in ELO. They are calling it the "Alumni Celebrity Game" From what I understand the Mayors will not be participating in this one. The second game is May 1 & it's the 2nd Annual "Old Gray Mayor's Game".
When we wrote this post we were concentrating mostly on the Wellsville slant.
Sorry for the confusion...
