Greenville, SC - The Greenville Groove, the BI-LO Center, and Southside Christian School have partnered to hold two high school basketball games at the BI-LO Center on Saturday, December 21st.

The teams will be playing games at North Greenville College, Greenville County Schools, and local Private Schools.

"I really appreciate the Greenville community supporting our school and our program," commented Greg Mosely, Athletic Director and Head Boys Basketball Coach. "Without the help of our friends in the upstate we would not be able to continue the basketball program at our school. ScheerSports, Inc. and the BI-LO Center have been wonderful. It is a great opportunity for our basketball players, cheerleaders, school band, students, and school family to play a game in the BI-LO Center."

The Greenville Groove will be contributing four dollars from every ticket sold on December 21st to the school gymnasium fund. Tickets to the high school basketball games will start at eight dollars.

We know that the circumstances are not ideal, but we are more than happy to assist Coach Mosely and their student-athletes while they work through re-construction of their facilities. We know that the fans will enjoy a special day with the Groove."
