Not-so-great news broke Thursday afternoon when it was officially announced that the Midwest Charity Classic, an event to raise money towards flood relief in Eastern Kentucky, had been canceled due to “complications” with KHSAA rules. The event will reportedly not be rescheduled and all ticket sales will be honored with a full refund.
It’s incredibly unfortunate because of how much the young student athletes wanted to make an impact for their state. Kentucky high school stars Reed Sheppard and Travis Perry would have greatly impacted the level of interest in the event. It also speaks volumes that so many other high school players were interested in participating in an event that was going to solely benefit the state of Kentucky.
