Webster’s Marketing II class hosted the Staff vs Students Basketball Game in Roberts Gym on Friday, Nov. 21, at 6:30 p.m.
The event served as a fundraiser for the Marketing II class’s experiential learning trip to New York.
Tickets cost $5 and were available for purchase at the door with cash or card
About planning the event, senior Josh Hager said, “A lot of recruitment, just getting teachers and sponsorships to help raise money for the fundraiser. As well as just a lot of time put into the media and our social media. Just marketing and getting people to want to come.”
Participating on behalf of the staff will be Fred Bell, Patrick Bommarito, Alison Bryar, Jacob Clark, Tony Gragnani, Dontrail Johnson, Annie Lybarger, Cam McCullough, Vincent Sbisa, Rebecca Riley, Tim Levine, Liza Ruether, Brennan Wells, Conner White and Sean Wright.
Acting as their coaches will be Eric Dunn and Patty Perkins.
About participating, Bommarito said, “I really enjoy playing pick-up basketball, and I like when staff and students get together for events. We used to do them more back in the day, I guess, but it’s just a lot of camaraderie and fun.”
Playing for the students will be sophomore Crosby Macmullan, junior Barrett Battles, and seniors Gavin Bleyer, Amelia Brangle, Carson Calame, Jake Clifton, Cameron Fowler, Joey Fox, Morgan Patrick, Harper McEvoy, Peyton Nehring, Owen O’Neil, George Peel, Miguel Saavedra and Henry Scheiffer.
The coaches for the students’ team were Shane Delanty and Malakai Lewis.
At the game, the National Anthem was performed by senior George Miofsky. Later on during halftime, the Webster Groves Cheer team performed, and there was a three-point contest featuring juniors Scottie Adkinson, Hadley Nordmann and Jackson Tabash, as well as seniors Ava Vanecek and Quincy Williams.
