Nearly four dozen Racine Lutheran High School graduates dusted off their basketball shoes, stretched their aging muscles, and played in the school’s annual Alumni Basketball Tournament on Saturday, Nov. 26.  It was a huge success and a wonderful experience.

The blast from the past was enhanced when RLHS Coach Jeff Christensen presented the weekend warriors with vintage Crusader jerseys. Multiple teams of athletes, whose graduation dates spanned more than 30 years, took to the court, enjoyed friendly competition and reminisced about their high school days. The bleachers were filled with phenomenal fans dressed in purple and gold.

Players and their families and friends gathered at Bucket’s Pub for a reception following the games.

We applaud and thank MeriKatherine Bock ’13 who sang an astounding a cappella rendition of the National Anthem. Thank you to all the men and women who participated or came to spectate. It was a great day for old friends to reconnect and play competitive – but fun – basketball.

Additional photos are posted on the Racine Lutheran Alumni Facebook page.

Next year’s Alumni Tournament will be held on Saturday, Nov. 25. Save the date!

The winning men’s team:

Front row L-R: Jared Kosmala ’12 and Michael Wilks ’04. Back row L-R: Ty Demuth ’12, Tyler Naegeli ’12, Ryan Sandberg ’04, Tim Demuth ’09, Kevin Petersen ’07, and Kevin Christensen ’01.

The winning 4-on-4 women’s team L-R: Sandi Hansen ’09, Samantha Meyer ’06, Beka Bickel ’08, and Brittany Meyer ’08.

#GivingTuesday – November 29 – is the day we kick off the Science Wing Renovation.  Many of you will be shopping between now and then as part of Cyber Monday.  Please use AmazonSmile and automatically support RLHS, at no cost to you.  When you shop at smile.amazon.com, you’ll find the exact same low prices, vast selection and convenient shopping experience as Amazon.com, with the added bonus that Amazon will donate a portion of the purchase price to RLHS.  Go to smile.amazon.com and search for ‘Lutheran High School Racine’.  Select and start shopping.  Thanks!

 

Small businesses are a vital part of a successful community.  And so are small schools!  Both offer personalized service and work hard to build quality relationships with those they serve.  We at RLHS strive to work individually with each of the students and instill the values of faith, character, leadership and learning.  We offer the complete high school experience at RLHS!  Thank you for supporting us!

All are welcome to come and cheer.  Games start at 3 p.m.

While you are shopping the amazing sales this weekend, the RLHS science team is dreaming about the incredible new equipment that will be part of the Science Wing Renovation.  You can turn their dreams into a reality on #GivingTuesday!

Today we give thanks.  We have been blessed abundantly.  Each person reading this has shared prayers, time, finances and ongoing support.  We are so very grateful.  Happy Thanksgiving!
