Swampscott boys basketball coach Dave Born announced that the 2nd Annual Coach Jeff Blydell Scholarship basketball game will be played on December 3 at Swampscott High School. The event is dedicated in memory of Blydell, a former basketball and baseball coach who passed away in the summer of 2015.
Those who support Coach Blydell’s Scholarship Fund will contribute to his legacy recognizing the good in people and encouraging them to exceed their expectations. Those who participate by challenging the Swampscott varsity team will get equal playing time, as was the successful game format in last year’s event. Each participant will also receive a game-day t-shirt.
The event tips off with the Swampscott youth game (5 p.m.) followed by the freshman/junior varsity game (6), and concluding with the varsity game (7). Adult players are asked to contribute $50.00 towards the scholarship fund. Younger players and students are asked to contribute $5.00, and spectators $10.00 each.
If you are unable to attend event but would like to contribute, please make out your check in the name of Big Blue Basketball Boosters and mail it to either Coach Dave Born, 3 Shoemaker Rd., Lynn, MA 01904 or to Coach Paul Moran, 2 Oakridge Rd., Swampscott, MA. 01907.
