LANSING, Ill. (February 13, 2018) – The ninth annual Lansing Roundball Classic ended with 6,730 food items donated to the Lansing Food Pantry, thousands of dollars donated to Lansing charitable causes, and awards for all the kids who played. In addition, the Oak Glen Grizzlies defeated the Heritage Nationals, and Brianna Rosas won the halftime Hot Shot contest. “This is as exciting as any Bulls game,” said Karen Adams about the series, “and I am totally serious. They play their heart out—and they’re good!”
