The Howe Bulldogs Alumni Baseball Team is looking for players for the game next Friday night, Feb. 20 at 7pm vs. the current Howe Bulldogs. Atlanta Braves pitcher Garrett Fulenchek will toe the hill for the alumni and will play along side his dad and former Bulldog right fielder, James Fulenchek.
Some of the mainstays from the alumni games in years past are unable to participate. Some holdovers from previous teams will be Larry McCarthy, James Fulenchek, and Kelly Gann, Dusty Womack and John Michael Stracener. Several others are on-call and may participate. Randle Nix, from last year’s playoff team has committed to play. The alumni team is ready to pass the torch to the next generation of Howe baseball alumni.
A longball competition will take place at 6pm before the game, which is scheduled for 7pm on Friday night. Some of the older former players that are unable to play in the game, such as Monte Walker, will participate in the longball competition.
Those willing to play for the Howe Alumni team need to call/text Monte Walker at 903-267-6704 or email at mwalker@howeenterprise.com.
All money raised for this event will go directly to the Howe baseball program.
