On Saturday, March 17 the seventh annual Casey L. Patrick Memorial Basketball Game was held. The game is held in memory of Casey Patrick, who was a 2010 graduate of Wellsboro High School. Casey loved basketball, but she could not play due to her heart condition, called Eisenmenger syndrome. She became manager of the basketball teams, a role she kept all the way up into her freshman year at Slippery Rock University. She also loved kids and wanted to be an elementary school teacher after graduation. This event represents the perfect blend of the two things she loved.

The game itself was a exciting and entertaining one this year! The students led the majority of the game, but the faculty made an intense comeback in the fourth quarter, tying the game up. In the final seconds, a three pointer from alumnus Joey Doganerio secured the victory for the Faculty/Alumni team.

The MVPs of the game (as voted by the opposing teams) were Joey Doganerio for the faculty and Ty Wetzel for the students.

The money raised during this event goes to the Casey L. Patrick Memorial Scholarship Fund and both basketball teams. The scholarship goes to a student who is interested in pursuing education at any level of college. With the money, the basketball teams have been able to upgrade uniforms and attend the camps that they might not of been able to do otherwise. This year’s game raised just over $1,840!

It’s wonderful how almost 6 years after her death, Casey is still touching peoples’ lives. Many of the basketball players never knew Casey, but they know her name and they know her story. Her family has worked hard to keep her legacy going and growing.
