‘Full Court Press’ Game Set At MHS

Magnolia High School will host its second campaign for Wetzel County Relay for Life and the American Cancer Society in its research and battle against cancer.

The school continues its pledge to have the student body hold mini “Relay for Life” events at various school activities to help raise awareness and money to promote research into the cure for various cancers.

Full Court Press on Cancer will be held during the Magnolia vs John Marshall Boys’ Basketball game Feb. 22. Admission to the game will be $6 for adults and $4 for students.

The dollar added to the usual costs of admission is a donation that will be added to funds previously raised in the school’s contribution to Relay for Life.

Members of the student body will be selling basketball and footprint memorial recognitions for display in the commons area on the path to the game. Between games, a three-point contest will be played in the auxiliary gym and prizes awarded.

All contributions will be donated to the Wetzel County Relay for Life teams.
