Mississippi Miracles News Release
Greenville, Mississippi. The ABA Mississippi Miracles announced today that on Decembver 5th, the team would host the Thomas Winterstein ABA Basketball Classic home opener at the Washington County Convention Center (WCC) in Greenville, Mississippi. The Miracles will play host to the Arkansas Aeros.
The game will honor the late Thomas Winterstein, Manager of the Greenville Office Depot, who died suddenly of a heart attack this year. "Tom was a tremendous supporter of the team," stated Coach James Smith. "Office Depot has been a great corporate sponsor of the team because of Tom."
The public is invited to purchase school supplies at Office Depot, bring them to the home opener at WCCC, so that they can be collected and donated to area schools in need. "I can think of no better way to honor the memory of Thomas Winterstein," stated Dr. Myers, Chairman of the Mississippi Miracles.
The game is scheduled to begin at 7pm. Admission is $10 for adults ($8 advance tickets) and $5 for children ($3 advance tickets).
