Northfield Faculty Narrowly Defeat Students in Annual Charity Basketball Game

Northfield High School's faculty basketball team eked out a 58-54 overtime victory over the student team in the school's annual charity match on Tuesday.

Students and staff raised more than $1,500 for Northfield families fighting cancer, the Northfield News reported. The yearly game has brought in almost $20,000 since it started in 2003.

“They all had fun and it was a good experience, and it’s a great cause,” senior Kellen Robideau, coach of the student team, told the paper. “There are a whole bunch of families that need it, which is a tough time. But it’s a fun thing for all of us to do. This is the best event the high school activities has.”

Student ballplayers will be hungry next year. Tuesday's win was the faculty's fifth consecutive victory.
