UM Basketball Spaghetti Dinner Fundraiser

On Monday both the Montevallo men and women basketball teams hosted a Spaghetti Dinner Fundraiser. The event was held at local Montevallo restaurant "Main Street Tavern." Full moon BBQ catered the food for the event. The men and women of the basketball teams were the servers for the night.
The event had two goals says men coach Danny Young " Good opportunity to get out with the community and raise some money for the teams" and women's coach Gary Van Atta " This being my first year back I'm able to get out and meet people and make connections. It's just a great opportunity for the community to get to know us and us to get to know the community.

Seniors on the Men's team Talan Whitaker and Tyler Brough says this event gets this pumped for the season. "I'm excited man. Getting to see all these people come out and support tonight gets me hype for November" says Whitaker. " It's an event like this that makes the season feel so close and I can't wait" added Brough.

Over 300 people came out to support the teams, each of them receiving a ticket to any non-conference home game this season. They were also entered in a raffle to win a pair of season tickets.

Coach Young says this is something he will continue next year. "Great turnout this year hopefully we can do this each year and build off of it."
