Mariposa County High School’s basketball program recently welcomed Bill Flarida as the new varsity head coach.
Flarida has already begun working with his AAU travel team, the Mean Green, which includes several MCHS players. The team has been practicing and competing with opponents they will see in the regular season, giving players a head start on the upcoming year. Community support, such as sponsorship from Pioneer Market, has helped provide uniforms and resources.
The Mean Green will host a fundraising dinner on Saturday, Aug.1, at 6 p.m. at Van Ness Ranch (5260 Carleton Road, Mariposa). The event features a ribeye steak and shrimp dinner, with soda and water included (BYOB).
Tickets are $60 each, $600 for a table of 10 and $350 for a half table of five. Proceeds will fund three years of summer AAU basketball for local players. Payment can be made by cash or check to Mean Green Basketball.
Players in the Mean Green program only pay the $22 AAU membership fee, making participation accessible for all. For more information about the team, fundraiser tickets or sponsorships, contact Coach Flarida at (209) 347-5523.
