Where/When: 7:30 p.m. Friday, Feb. 11, at , 416 McKinley Ave.
Why go? Because this season is remarkable. Even if you're not a sports fan, it's a wonderful, compelling story. Coach Gina Nolan's amazing battle back from breast cancer, a super-powerful team that's had to learn it's not invincible, senior players like Kat Yelle who has four years on the varsity and is almost surely is a future GHS Hall-of-Famer, playing on senior recognition night, and it could decide the UEC River Division championship. Great entertainment at a very low price.
Pricing: I think it might be $5, but I'm not certain.
