BASKETBALL PROGRAM

For more than two decades, the Calgary Stampeders have been dropping by school gymnasiums in and around the city to play a little basketball against student teams. Hoops250.jpg

The proud tradition continued in 2010, with the Red and White visiting nine schools in the Calgary area. The Stamps dropped to a diverse group of schools for tilts with both girls' and boys' squads.

Check out some of the action from the 2010 program:

A new addition to the program in 2010 saw members of the Stamps alumni association dropping in to participate — including Stamps all-time sack leader Will Johnson and four-time Grey Cup champ Roger Reinson — proving the tradition is as strong as ever.

AM770 CHQR was back to help the program this year as Stamps play-by-play voice Mark Stephen and radio personality Dave Rowe provided commentary. The games were a must-see experience.
