Any ABAC faculty or staff member is welcome to play in the game. Any ABAC student, except members of the Fillies' and Stallions' squads, is welcome to play on the student team. The game will consist of two 10-minute halves. Contact Conner at (229) 386-3927 to sign up to play.
Immediately following the game, there will be an introduction of the ABAC Fillies' basketball team and a short 20-minute intrasquad scrimmage. The final event of the night will be the introduction of the ABAC Stallions' basketball team and another 20-minute intrasquad scrimmage.
"We feel this is a wonderful way for the students to see the faculty and staff from a new perspective," Conner said. "It will also be a great way to promote the beginning of the men's and women's basketball practices and help to start the seasons off with a bang."
Stallions' Coach Robert Moore agreed that the game is a great opportunity for students to see professors and staff members in a different light.
"It will be a good night for students to come out and see the players introduced," Moore said. "All sports need that kind of recognition."
Admission is free for all events. Refreshments will be provided by the Office of Student Life.
