What a Night! Former ISU Stars Royce White and Craig Brackins Shine in YMCA Summer League Game

The ISU stars — one now an NBA free agent and the other ready for the draft — take part in the YMCA Capital City Basketball League.

So, Patch.com came up short on the scoreboard Wednesday against ADIO Chiropractic in the YMCA Summer League in a 114-113 squeaker.

We don't care. We're considering the night a victory, anyway.

Iowa State's Royce White and Craig Brackins helped attract a standing-room-only crowd to for a great — and free — night out for more than 1,000 people.

And Patch.com teamed with White to raffle off a basketball donning his autograph and will donate every dime of the $265 it generated to Orchard Place, which works with youths with behavioral disorders and mental health issues.
