Individually they are the elite, the media darlings, the ballers, the Sports Illustrated cover girls, the All-Americans, the Adidas-adorned celebrities and the Stepan legends. United they are the Green team versus the White team, seeing who can get to 15 first.
The Green Team won 15-12 after being up 8-7 at the half.
The Green Team was made up of the Majestics' Corey Hartmann, the Freeballers' DJ Lipke, John `Psycho' Taggert, Please Call Us Bosephus' Brian Ostick, former women's basketball forward Kelley Siemon, quarterback Carlyle Holiday, former men's basketball team member Hunt Hanover and former leprechaun Mike Brown.
The White Team featured women's basketball All-American Ruth Riley, former point guard Martin Ingelsby, Project Mayhem's Luke Mueller, former head bookstore commissioner Brian Borger, Versatility's Chris Dillon and NDToday.com's Todd Titus.
"It was a fun, laid-back game," said Brown.
"It was probably the least stressful situation I've ever played in," added Mueller.
Siemon and Riley, in their last officiated game at Notre Dame, each had five points. Holiday, who didn't show any fatigue after Saturday's Blue-Gold game, scored four times for the Green Team.
"I was fairly familiar with Ruth's game," said Siemon. "I was proud of our team, our killer point guard and Carlyle Holiday dunking everything. I'm going to miss those guys. At the end of the game, I wanted to cry. But I held back my emotions for the fans."
The Bookstore Basketball commissioners chose who will play in the Hall of Fame game.
"We try to get celebrities and athletes that everyone wants to see on the court, and also past players who made it to 16 or 18 and deserve to be recognized," said commissioner Bridget Monahan.
