Girls Basketball Players Receive Invitation To Play In Europe A team of Madison High School girls basketball players has been invited to play in a summer basketball tournament next year in Europe. The Lady Patriots will compete in a series of games with teams from England, France and Italy during their two-week tour of Europe. During the tour, games will be scheduled against foreign opposition in London, Paris and Rome. The 25-member Lady Patriot squad will be ac companied by several dozen parents and head coach Ricky McDevitt. The Lady Patriots and two other American teams will compete in the tournament against the Euro pean high school teams. Ricky McDevitt told reporters that the invitation to compete was an honor for Madison High School. "Madison High School was chosen because of the strength of our program and the ability of our girls. The committee looked at our players academic grades as well as our playing record. They weren't looking for a powerhouse team. They were looking for girls who could represent the United States overseas. McDevitt said that the team will be conducting a series of fund-raising efforts throughout the year to offset the costs of the 14-day tour. The coach said that more than $40,000 will have to be raised to cover the costs of transpor tation, uniforms and meals for the players. Parents accom panying the team will pay their own expenses. A meeting to discuss the fund-raising effort will be held at Madison High School on June 5. Anyone interested in helping in the effort to send Madison's Lady Patriots to Europe is invited to attend. "This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for these girls," McDevitt said. "The tourna ment itself is only part of the tour. The kids will also have the chance to see many places of great cultural and educa tional value. The side trips to places like the Coliseum in Rome and the Lourve in Paris are all part of the tour. It gives American kids and European kids the chance to get to know more about each other.
