| The crowd at one point in the night. It would get bigger than this. |
Friday night was the annual Ludlowe vs Warde girls' and boys' basketball doubleheader.
This year, the games took place at Ludlowe as they rotate ever year.
This was a big discussion, as Ludlowe is a lot smaller than Warde and with online tickets, the game was a sellout. Now, it's often been a sellout when at Ludlowe, but it sold out earlier in the week due to the pre-sale of tickets.
It made for a crazy packed gymnasium but overall, I thought everything went very smooth.
As for the games, it was a split decision.
Ludlowe won the girls game, coming away with a close, hard fought 29-26 victory.
In the boys' game, Warde came out on top, 50-36.
The crowd was terrific for both games. From the Nest (Ludlowe student section) to the Stampede (Warde Student Section), to the youth basketball players, parents and other Fairfield community basketball fans.
The games are also Coaches vs Cancer fundraiser games as money is raised in a variety of ways including but not limited to the players raising money in advance, the concession stand at the game and a 50/50 raffle. I've heard a lot of money was raised for cancer research, which is phenomenal.
Great job by everyone. From Athletic Director's Todd Parness and Gina DiGiacomo to the rest of the staff, parents who were involved, players, coaches, fans and all of the other support staff. It was a crazy day and week, but happy to get it over with and move on with the rest of the season.
A great night of basketball and a great night for the Town of Fairfield.
