“I WAS WATCHING THE COVERAGE OF THE EARTHQUAKE ON CNN AND I REALLY WANTED
TO DO SOMETHING TO HELP THE PEOPLE IN HAITI,” SAID DAVIS. “I REALLY
FELT FOR THEM AND I WANTED TO HELP IN ANY WAY I COULD. I JUST STARTED CALLING
ALL THE PEOPLE THAT I KNEW AND EVERYONE GOT ON BOARD.”
The price of the event is $5 for adults (21 and older), $2 for young adults
(ages 15-20) and $1 for children (ages 6-14). Children under five years of age
get in free.
All proceeds from the event will go to the relief effort in Haiti. People are
also encouraged to make donations during the games.
The event will begin at 11 a.m. with a youth game between the Lakers and STL
Hawks (6-8 year olds). It will be followed by the Hoyas vs. Rockets (6th and 7th
grade) at noon; Pressure vs. Heat (6th and 7th grade) at 1 p.m.; Wizards vs.
Warriors (8th grade) at 2 p.m. The event will continue with a 50-and-over game
at 3 p.m. and two 40-and-over games at 4:15 and 5:30 p.m.
The final game of the evening will feature a group of former stars from Wellston
High at 6:45 p.m. The school is closing its doors at the end of this year and
will merge into Normandy High next year. The game will feature many former
Trojan stars such as Edgar Wilson, Garry Beals, Jeffrey McCaw and so many other
players that help make the Trojans one of the top small-school programs in the
state.
