Harlem Rockets visit
PULASKI - Bouncing basketballs may mean big bucks for the high school's band boosters, when a faculty and county all-star roundhouse team take on the visiting Harlem Rockets on Monday.
Featured among the Rockets will be "Magic" Valentino Willis, who has taken his courtside comedy routine around the world for the last 25 years.
The Rockets, playing in about 200 games a year, have never lost, according sources at the high school.
Game time is 7 p.m. at the high school. Tickets are available at the door for $5 and at the high school book store, Courgar Express, Volvo-GM's cafeteria, and Wal-Mart for $4. Proceeds will be used to buy new band instruments.

The board meets the third Monday of each month at 7 p.m. One vacancy expires on June 30, 1995, and the other on June 30, 1996.
The three-year term representing District C of the Parks and Recreation Commission is available. The commission advises the county Parks and Recreation Department on leisure time activities and programs for residents of all ages. The commission meets the first Thursday of each month at 7 p.m.
The county's At Risk and Family Community Policy and Management Team needs a parent representative for a two-year term.
