The Alumn i Basketball Games and Chili Feed, by Dave Hawley


The Alumni basketball game and Chili Feed has been a modern tradition for Wichita Collegiate, throughout the tenure of Mitch Fiegel. Targeted for both the boys and girls' teams, the Friday after Thanksgiving has provided a chance for the former Spartan players to come back to face off against each years' newest edition. The night usually consisted of several games, including alumni vs. alumni, the alumni women versus the Spartan women, and the evening ending with epic battles of the aged against the youth. Unofficial scoring has taken place, even though the games are worked by certified officials. Free shirts have been given to the alumni, even though one year, the shirts read "ALMUNI". On two occasions, Maurice Evans has played in the contest, once after transferring to Texas and in 2012. The chili feeds have been a great chance to raise money for Booster Club and to have a chance to catch up with each others' lives!
