Basketball alumni game to be played this weekend will feature Tigers of the future, Tigers of the past

Young current Tigers like Quincey Bradley (left) will test their skills against the like of veterans like point guard Jamaal Binns of a few years ago.

It has been two years but it's time to be reminded again.

What do these names bring to mind? Tyrekus "A.J." Bowman, Franchot Brown, Lazarus Chennault, Jamaal Binns, Andrew Jack- son, and Denorio Quinn.

If you still don't know, add Chris Graves, Lucious Stewart, and Scotty Long to the list and you'll know that it's a roster of some of the great Washington-Wilkes basketball players from this year and years past. Wouldn't it be great to see them on the court shooting hoops just one more time?

That's gonna happen this weekend.

On Saturday, May 31, all those guys and maybe more will team up and coach themselves as they challenge the 2008-2009 Tigers in the second-ever Washington-Wilkes Alumni Basketball Game.

Tiger head basketball coach Don Keiser has announced that the game will be played at the W-WES gym beginning at 7 p.m. and he will be coaching his own Tigers while the alumni are on their own.

Admission to the game will be $5.00 and concessions will be available.

Concernig his team's goals for the game, Keiser said, "It's all about the money. We might get killed but that won't matter because for this game, it's all about the money."

Funds raised will be used to support the Washington-Wilkes basketball program.
