While the majority of students are typically trying to get as far away from the school as they can on the weekends, some will be back on campus Saturday for the Home Run Derby. The event, hosted by senior Sammi Curry as part of her senior project, will start at noon on the school’s softball field.
Proceeds from the event will benefit the Boys and Girls Club of Collin County.
“I believe that exercise is a key aspect to life, and I am so excited to be able to raise money to support this idea,” Curry said.
There is a $10 fee to enter the derby with the opportunity to win $100.
Whoever hits the most home runs out of 10 chances wins the contest. If people aren’t happy with the results of their first ten hits, it will be possible to buy an additional 10 balls for an additional $10. Boys and girls will compete separately with the boys hitting from home plate and girls hitting from the pitchers mound.
