'Village People' Take On Old Quarry Students in Booster Club Basketball Fundraiser

students and representatives from the Village of Lemont hit the court Saturday night for a basketball fundraiser hosted by the Warrior Booster Club.

For the game, members of the varsity Warrior girls and boys basketball teams joined forces to take on "The Village People," a team composed of Mayor Brian Reaves, village employees and firefighters, Warrior Booster Club members and Old Quarry faculty.

Though the score remained close throughout the game, the Warriors were able to pull out a 52-45 win.

The basketball game kicked off an early fundraising season for the Booster Club, which was responsible for organizing and funding extracurricular activities this year in Lemont-Bromberek Combined School District 113A, and will continue to do so for the foreseeable future.

"The game was a lot of fun and we got really good feedback, so it was a really positive experience for the parents and all the kids," said Amy Kramer, president of the Warrior Booster Club.

Old Quarry basketball coach Jack Williams said his players "had a blast," and that the Booster Club was "very happy with the crowd."

"We really liked that this event was more of a town thing," he said. "It's great for the school and the district because it gives community members a reason to come into our facilities to see the quality programs we have."
