Albany State Hoops stars set to duel in 2nd Annual Legends Game

Albany basketball stars from the past and present will hit the court Saturday for the 2nd annual Legends Game.

ALBANY, GA — Get ready for some more old school versus new school. The 2nd annual Albany Legends game takes place Saturday night at Albany State University, featuring an “old school” team — area basketball stars who played before 2000 — against a “new school” team of players who played since 2000. A relatively new tradition, the game gives area hoops fans a chance to not only see star players from Albany’s past, but learn from their life experiences.

“We want everybody to come out,” said Chris Cameron, the Albany State men’s basketball coach and member of the old school team. “The mission of the game is to inspire, to entertain and to educate the community. And (another goal is) to recognize the hoopers from Albany that helped establish Albany as a basketball hotbed in the south.”

WHAT: 2nd annual Albany Legends Game.
WHEN: Saturday, 7 p.m.
