The 12th Annual Sitrin Celebrity Classic Wheelchair Basketball Game Is In The Books

The 12th Annual Sitrin Celebrity Classic Wheelchair Basketball Game is in the books and once again the Sitrin Stars handed it to the Celebrity Cruisers. It took place yesterday, Thursday (April 10th), at Utica College in the gymnasium to a sold out crowd. Everyone roared when SU Men's Basketball stars C.J.Fair and Baye-Moussa Keita showed up. You should of heard the cheers for olympic medalist Erin Hamlin and our illusionist stars Leon Etienne and Romy Low.

Now don't let the final score fool you. When Kristen Copeland from WKTV finally got a basket, they awarded us 10 points!

Yes the celebrity cruisers go down to defeat every year by the Sitrin All Stars but, it's all in good fun, and for a great cause. Enjoy some coverage of the game.
