The games will begin at 6 o’clock, starting with the women’s game. The men’s game  will follow, beginning around 7:30 p.m.

Proceeds from these games benefit the Mandy Hampton Memorial Scholarship Fund.

All former Ava High School basketball players are invited to come and participate in these games, which annually bring back a slate of more than 40 players.

The participation fee of $10 includes a T-shirt for each player.

The games will not only provide a night of competitive basketball action, but are also exciting to watch from the stands.
