High School North faculty and members of the Class of 2009 held a memrial basketball game on January 9 to honor David Bachner, who died in August. The alumni team beat the faculty, 66-63. The event raised more than $3,600, which will be donated to the David Jordan Bachner Memorial Fund.
The fund was established by David’s parents, Rhonda and Steve Bachner, to support less fortunate athletes who wish to continue their baseball career and possess the skill but do not have the funds to showcase their skills and secure a college scholarship.
South graduate Becky Peters, a sophomore at Fordham University, has started in 15 games this season for the women’s basketball team. She is averaging 10.9 points, 3.9 rebounds, and two assists per game.
