LOWER LAKE >> The annual Lower Lake High School alumni basketball games take place Friday at the new gym beginning at 5:30 p.m. Both the boys and girls games are fundraisers for the school’s basketball program.
Fans not only get a preview of the upcoming basketball season at the school, but it’s a chance to see Lower Lake stars of old, including some of the best players in the school’s history.
Among those alumni who have committed to participating on Friday night are Vince Alderman, Eric Freeman, Joe Hughes, Donald Miller, D’vonce Sloan, Jojo Noel, Xavier Miller, Shady Cerezo, Robert Calderon, Shannon Tubbs and Ed Fuchs, and Latoya Fortino, Maile Weldon, Shayna Pike, Holly Ingalls, Billie Boyd, Lily Cuellar, Ashlee Hernstedt, Zobee Miller and Veronica Wilder.
Alderman is Lower Lake’s career scoring leader and fourth all-time on Lake County’s list of scoring leaders. Freeman and Wilder also scored more than 1,000 points during their playing careers. A member of the Lower Lake varsity girls squad this season, senior Aleia Milano, is gunning for the school’s all-time scoring record as she opens the year with 1,145 points.
There will be games of skill with prizes for younger fans, and a 50/50 raffle.
