LINN-MAR - When a member of the pride needed help, Linn-Mar's Lions showed up in full force.
Doug Wick, the father of current Linn-Mar student-athlete Josh, is battling leukemia, and the Lions' basketball community put together a fundraiser basketball game to benefit the Wick family.
Former Linn-Mar basketball players came back in droves to play in Thursday night's game, including Division-1 players Marcus Paige (North Carolina), Grant Gibbs (Creighton) and former Wisconsin guard Jason Bohannon were among the many players who came back for the benefit.
TV9's Scott Saville was in the gym on Thursday night, and caught up with the players who came back and the people who put on the special game.
