Otero Basketball to Host “Meet the Rattlers” on Sunday Oct 9

LA JUNTA — Otero Basketball will be hosting “Meet the Rattlers” this Sunday, Oct. 9 at 5:30 p.m. in the Otero College McDivitt Gym. This event is free and open to the public. This event will give the community a chance to meet the Rattler basketball teams and test their skills against them.

There will be several events taking place throughout the night including a Men’s and Women’s Scrimmage, a Dunk Contest, a 3 Point Contest, and a Knock Out Contest.

Fans will have the opportunity to compete against the teams in the 3 Point Contest for a $10 fee as well as in the Knock Out Contest for $5. The winner of each contest will receive an Otero branded Nike backpack. All funds raised will go directly to support the Otero teams. T-shirts will be available for $15. Those who wish to participate must wear running or basketball shoes to preserve our newly refurbished court.

Head Men’s Basketball Coach, Sammy Coleman said, "This is a great opportunity for the athletes and community to interact. The community can meet members of the 22-23 teams and get to know them before the season begins on Nov. 1. I'd encourage all fans to mark their calendars. It’s going to be a great event.”
