Coach Casey Wyllie on the outing: "This was such a great day for our basketball program.  We couldn't have asked for a better day or turnout for this event.  Thank you to Richland Country Club for allowing us to have this event on a Saturday.  Also a huge thank you to everyone that donated the meal, donated prizes, played, and sponsored holes.  Today was such a great reminder that the program is so much bigger than ourselves.  People from all over came to support our program and that type of commitment doesn't go unnoticed.  Alumni, local businesses, family, and friends made this day very special and we are already looking forward to next year."
