Mobile’s Bridge Builder Classic
The city of Mobile will host the inaugural Bridge Builder Classic Saturday, Jan. 29 at the University of South Alabama’s Mitchell Center. The exhibition basketball game was created to enhance exposure for historically Black colleges and universities and highlight their roles in educating aspiring professionals and developing future leaders. Entertainment includes DJ Black and DJ Kix battling it out during the halftime show. The game will feature regional Southwestern Athletic Conference (SWAC) teams Alabama State University, Jackson State University, Grambling State University and Bethune-Cookman University. The event will also feature several Alabama high school teams: Williamson High School (Mobile), Vigor High School (Prichard), Blount High School (Prichard), Carver High School (Montgomery), Lanier High School (Montgomery) and Leflore High School (Mobile). Games are subject to change.
