At one o'clock, on Saturday, July 21st, an all-star basketball game honoring the late Barry Stevens will be held at Hilton Coliseum in Ames, Iowa. Stevens died of a heart attack in February. He played for the Iowa State Cyclones from 1981-1985, and left the school as its all-time leading scorer. The game is being organized by Jeff Grayer-- Stevens' former teammate, friend, and business partner, a fellow Flint, Michigan native, and the only man to subsequently surpass Barry on that ISU scoring list. Stevens and Grayer were my favorite basketball players when I was a kid.

Another of Stevens' former teammates, Jeff Hornacek, will participate in the contest, along with other former and current basketball stars, Jamaal Tinsley and Mateen Cleaves. Tickets are $20 for adults ($10 for 15 and under). Call 810-533-5478. Coordinate with me first.

Lifelong pal David Levenhagen just got his blog up and running over at davelevenhagen.blogspot.com. Expect plenty of cross-promotion between these two sites in the coming days. For example, Dave tells me privately that he plans to respond-- at last-- to the rumor that he once let his hair grow out for two months in the hope of attaining "that happenin' Tony LaRussa look." Don't miss it.
