Organizers of the annual Alumni Bragging Rights game in Chester have announced the date for this year’s basketball classic.

The date chosen is Saturday, April 2 for the annual basketball game between alumni of both parochial schools in Chester, St. John Lutheran and St. Mary’s Catholic.  The date is pending approval from the Board of Education of Chester Unit School District #139.

A basketball game was played between the two long-time rivals the first four years of the event while a volleyball match was played last year.  It’s back to basketball this year according to the organizers of the event and now graduates up to and including the Class of 2005 of both parochial schools are invited to play.

The cost to play in the game is $20 which includes a t-shirt.  To register to play, alumni members should contact Michael Heffernan or Chris Blechle.
