"Tony Barlow was one of our own students who graduated as an 8th grader from PHS in 1990. Tony was the student who came up with the idea for the charity game; asking his coach (Rich Gurnett), if his 8th grade basketball team could play a game versus the teachers. Since then, the game has morphed to include the girls volleyball team with all food and money donations being given to support our local violence shelter. 

Tragically, Tony was killed by a hit and run drunk driver in 1994, just a few months after graduating from Hononegah. His legacy and spirit lives on, however, in the way that he loved, lived, and gave to others...and now you can be a part of that legacy by attending and supporting this Tony Barlow Charity Game! We hope to see you then!"
