KU Barnstormers to play in Fort Scott

Fort Scott Community College and Fort Scott High School are teaming up to sponsor an appearance by the KU Barnstormers on April 28. The KU Barnstormers will be represented by Kansas University's Men's Basketball seniors, including Elijah Johnson, Travis Releford, Kevin Young and Jeff Withey and will take on high school seniors from FSHS and the surrounding area.

The KU Barnstormers event will take place in the Fort Scott High School gymnasium at 7 p.m. April 28. Doors will open at 5 p.m. for a before-the-game autograph session with the Barnstormers. Fans are advised to come early as a ticket to the game does not guarantee the purchaser an autograph or opportunity for an autograph from the Kansas Barnstormers.

Tickets are $15 each and will be on sale April 10-25 at the following locations: Fort Scott Community College in the main lobby of Dick Hedges Administration Building, the Fort Scott High School main office, and Country Cupboard, 12 N. Main.

Available tickets may be purchased at the door but fans are encouraged to buy tickets early.
