Celebs Come Together to Fight Drugs

Posted: Updated:

Wyoming East's gymnasium was packed, but not for a Warrior basketball game.

A Celebration of Community was held in New Richmond. The focus was on saying 'no' to drugs.

The keynote speaker was Chris Herren. Herren is a former NBA player who battled drugs his whole career. He was also the subject of an ESPN '30 For 30' documentary, about his fight with drugs.

After Herren's speech, a basketball game was held featuring former Mountaineer Joe Mazzulla and 'America's Got Talent' winner Landau Eugene Murphy Jr. Former Mountain State head coach Bob Bolen coached the squad.
