Clarkston teachers took on University of Michigan All Stars Friday in a benefit basketball game for the Independence Township Senior Center.
Recruited and led by Harold Krueger, UM sports scout since 1979, the All Stars beat the teachers, but they were all on the same side ? to help the senior center.
‘We had a really good time ? the teachers loved it,? said Margaret Bartos, center coordinator.
Attendence at the Clarkston Junior High School game was light, about 140, so next year it will be scheduled earlier in the year, perhaps in March during basketball season, Bartos said.
The game benefits the center’s Senior Athletic Programs.
‘I play softball at the senior center,? Krueger said. ‘They said they need money, and I know all the players.?
The game was organized this past February. Fourteen teachers from Clarkston Junior High School and High School and 12 former UM football, basketball, and baseball players participated.
