Basketball scrimmage will support backpack program

A scrimmage organized by the Hartley-Melvin-Sanborn boys' basketball team will provide an opportunity for players and the community to support local students and families by collecting food donations.

H-M-S is hosting an "Achieve Scrimmage" on Monday, Nov. 25, starting at 6 p.m. in the high school gym. The scrimmage will be for the JV and varsity teams of H-M-S and MVAOCOU.

Community members are encouraged to attend. Donations of canned food or shelf-stable food items will be accepted for admission. Those items will support the H-M-S backpack program.

The Achieve Challenge is a voluntary state...
