The Fresno State Men's Basketball team will tip off their 2008-2009 season with the annual Red/White Scrimmage, which will take place October 29th at the Save Mart Center. The doors will open to the public at 6:30pm with the festivities getting underway at 7pm, admission is free.
The events will not only feature a slam dunk contest between freshman high-flyer Paul George as well as fellow freshman Mychal Ladd, but also a shooting skills competition featuring sophomore forward Nedeljko Golubovic, junior forward Sylvester Seay, sophomore guard Myles Green and freshman guard Taylor Kelly.
With just over a week left before Fresno State opens its exhibition schedule on November 5th against Fresno Pacific, this will give fans a chance to see this young team in action and see the players they can look forward to for years to come. So, get out to the Save Mart Center tomorrow night, it doesn't cost you anything to get in, bring the kids out and let them enjoy the dunk contest and maybe teach them a little about the game of basketball. This event usually isn't sold out, so this might be the best opportunity to see these players close up.
This Fresno State team is a young squad, they may need a year or two to learn from each other, but watch out for them in 2011. In two years, with the talent this team has at this point, this is going to be a very dangerous Bulldog team to deal with. Maybe you can look back and say, "I saw these kids when they were just starting out," it might be a memory you might enjoy.
