On January 7th, 2012, the Kings Knights Men’s Basketball program volunteered in the community to help fight against hunger. Here are pictures from the event.

Although the battle against the LM Panthers is always tough, this evenings game will take on a sentimental feel to remember a former Kings Lady Knights player who passed suddenly 25 years ago, Jenee Allen.

In 1986, Kings varsity basketball player Jenee’ Allen collapsed during a basketball game at Ross High School and died two days later.  This week marks the 25^th anniversary of this tragedy.  On Saturday, December 10th, the Kings women’s basketball team will dedicate their home game against Little Miami to her memory.  Jenee’ was an outstanding student, athlete and friend to many in the Kings community.  A moment of silence will be observed to honor Jenee’ prior to the national anthem Saturday evening.  Friends of Jenee’ are invited to meet in the commons area of the high school at 6:30 p.m. on Saturday for a celebration of her life.

On Saturday 12/3/11, the day started, for the Varsity, by eating pancakes and asking Santa to make their wish list come true. Can anyone say “Defend the title!”?

Varsity members autographed team posters prior the Kings vs. Turpin game Friday December 14th.    The players did a great job engaging with the club members to make this a special event for all who participated.    The relationship between our Varsity athletes and our elementary students continues to grow.     We are fortunate to have a group of Varsity Basketball players worthy of looking up to.

On Saturday, December 8th the Men’s and Women’s basketball programs joined Jr. Roundball Club members for Breakfast with Santa.    This was a great opportunity for Jr. Roundball Members to hang out with their favorite players and an opportunity for our Varsity athlete’s to embrace their role as community leaders and role models to our elementary students.
