A couple of major events are scheduled for Walker Arena on Thursday evening when the Lee University basketball teams host the University of West Alabama in a Gulf South Conference doubleheader beginning at 6 p.m.
The world famous Gym Masters from Southern Adventist University will be making their annual appearance at halftime of the men’s game. It is a great time to see these athletes in action.
Also Lee is teaming with Bradley County Schools to help promote the importance of reading programs. All elementary students attending the games will receive a free book, popcorn and drink.
“We are excited to be working with Dr. (Linda) Cash, the Director of Bradley County Schools and Heather Byrd, the System-wide Reading Coordinator, on this event,” said Lee Athletic Director Larry Carpenter.”
Carpenter added that some of the Lee athletes will be reading to the students after they receive their books.
Admission to all regular season basketball games is free to all Cleveland and Bradley County residents.
