Today's the day...the much anticipated rematch with the golden oldies playing for the trophy and valley bragging rights gets underway tonight. The game will be played in the Tiger Cage at Wellsville High School. It's been post poned twice. The third time is the charm and the geriatric members are ready.
There will be food with home made snacks, a 50/50 and lots & lots of nice things to be raffled off in the silent auction. NCAA record holder Bevo Francis will be on hand to meet & greet and sign autographs. One of the items to be auctioned is a basketball with Bevo's autograph and the man himself donated a couple of special tee-shirts and the latest book published on his basketball career. All of them are autographed.
Proceeds from the game benefit Wellsville's Revitalization Committee and the Alley Cat Aide Brigade. Doors open at 5:30 with the game scheduled to begin at 7 P.M. There will be enough antics to have you smiling for quite awhile. You won't want to miss it.
As pictured above from last year's match-up Bevo will do the honors of tossing up the ball for the tip-off. He's shown here explaining to EL Mayor Jim Swogger what the tip-off is for. With the Mayor's aging memory Bevo will probably have to repeat the explanation.
Please join us to see if the Old Gray Mayors are what they use to be...
