ROCKPORT – The Camden Hills gym was the place to be Friday night as the Camden Hills Basketball Boosters Club held the first annual Alumni versus Alumni game at the school.

The days of the varsity squads playing the alumni, a staple of the pre-season for many years in basketball that seldom if ever happens anymore due to the Maine Principles Association rule on number of scrimmage games each team has. Coaches feel like they cannot afford to use ups play day on a fun game.

So the next best thing and lots of fun for players as well as the fans is the alumni versus alumni games and this one did not disappoint. Both the mens and women's teams had quality players from as far back as the graduating class of 1982 with Jeff Hall and current athletic director Steve Alex.
