     Local prep basketball fans probably could have walked into the Custer High School gym with me the other night and recognized some of the standout players who were hooping it up.

     But their presence on Coach Marc Mitchell's team was about much more than their abilities on the court.

     Each young man had to raise a minimum of 400 dollars for the MACC Fund (Midwest Athletes Against Childhood Cancer).

     One of the players raised 15 hundred dollars-and expected more to come in!

     Another raised a grand.

     On Friday, the team will travel to Madison to meet with sick youngsters.

     On Saturday, they'll play a bunch of former college all-stars at Homestead High School in Mequon.

     The game figures to be a challenging one (If you can stop by and support the MACC Fund and the players efforts, please do).

     Win or lose, the prep stars took a big step in their growth as men-as role models-and as encouragers for those less fortunate.

     To use the basketball vernacular--that's good STUFF!
