The Lincoln Academy Alumni Basketball games take place in the Nelson Bailey Gymnasium at LA on Fri., Nov. 25, starting at 5 p.m. The middle game of the basketball evening will be the Black & White game featuring men alumni – graduates in odd years versus those from even years. There is no age limit.
Following this game, the 1959 State Champion Track Team will be honored in a short ceremony.
The first game is the Lady Alumni vs. the Girls’ Varsity at 5 p.m. Lady alumni in all classes are invited. The final game is the Boys’ Varsity vs. Boothbay, one of the few scrimmages allowed varsity teams before the regular season starts.
In addition to players, and the honored team, the LA Class of 2011 is invited to “come back to the nest” as guests of the Alumni Council. Tickets for the Class of 2011 will be held at the door.
This is the major fundraising event of the year for the LA Alumni Council. They will sell hot dogs, hamburgers, pizza, snacks and drinks during the games. Proceeds support the Alumni Council’s programs and activities, which include Homecoming, the Alumni Banquet, and the Lincoln Log.
Admission is $4 for adults, $1 for students. Children six and under are free, as well as the L.A. Class of 2011.
