St. Peter’s High School will honor members of the 1968 and 1978 State Championship teams during the halftime of the St. Peter’s varsity basketball game vs. Cleveland Lincoln West on January 13, at the Franciscan Activity Center.

Members of both teams along with coaching staffs and cheerleaders have been invited to return to attend the event.  Also, a historical display will be set up in the Franciscan Activity Center including the state championship trophies, game balls and old photos and newspaper photos.

“It’s a great honor to have so many players return for this anniversary,” said Spartan Head Coach Joe Jakubick.  “It’s a great opportunity for our current players to meet the guys who built the legacy of Spartan basketball.”

It is also Homecoming Weekend at St. Peter’s High School, and the 59th Homecoming Queen will be crowned between the JV and Varsity games. A small reception for the teams will be hosted after the event in the Franciscan Activity Center Atrium.
