The Arundel girls basketball team had its official Pink Zone game earlier this month, but the Wildcats like their pink and white uniforms so much they decided to wear them again last night against Riverdale Baptist. Anything they can do to bring attention to -- and raise funds for -- the battle against cancer.
Pink T-shirts like the ones the Wildcats wore during warm-ups last night were available for sale to raise money for the Kay Yow/WBCA Cancer Fund, named for the long-time North Carolina State coach who died earlier this year of breast cancer.
While many girls teams from around the area have hosted Pink Zone nights as part of the Women's Basketball Coaches Association breast cancer awareness initiative, the Anne Arundel County girls teams all have pink and white uniforms for their events. Some college teams also have pink uniforms, but most high school teams sport pink shoelaces and wear pink warm-up shirts. The Arundel girls, however, go all out right down to their black socks with pink ribbons.
