Big turnout for annual basketball alumni games
by Toni Zaverl
It was another good night in the Ely high school gym as the alumni players come together to play in the second annual Ely Hoop Club alumni basketball game.
We switch gears up this year and played the alumni game before Christmas and seem to have a good turnout.
This alumni game was put in place by Hoop Club board member Toni Zaverl to bring back old time fun and have an event that will bring the community together as well as serve for a fundraiser for the Hoop Club Scholarship fund.
The Ely Hoop Club would like to thank all the players who sign up and played in this year’s game. Also the family and fans that came to watch and make this special and annual event happen.
The players on the girls red team are Jen Zgonc, Mindy LaTourell, Megan Wognum, Jackie Zubke, Maggie Isbell, Jean Hutar, and Missy Mackenzie. The players on the white team are Kalley Fischer, Shayla Zaverl, Alison Zaverl, Marlee Muhvich, Natalie McDonald, Megan Dotts, and Adrianna Wittrup.
The boys white team consists of Pat Vanderbeek, Max Gantt, Izaak Nosbisch, Jay Soderberg, Reed Petersen, Collen Seliskar, Bob LaTourell, Adam McDonald, Jasiah Wigdahl, Alex Motes, and Michael Lah. For the red team Mark Heiman, Evan Omerza, Steve Milkovich, Charley Damman, Blaise Lah, Pat Heiman, Mike Heiman, Trevor Mattson, Nick Furnstahl, and Carter Gaulke.
