About:
Every year, the Varsity Boys Lax team competes against Rondout Valley for their “Black & Blue Game” in memory of #KHSAlum Danny Barnes who lost his battle to Melanoma at the young age of 30.
the “Black and Blue Game” Started as a friendly rivalry vs. Kingston and Rondout. After the second year it became a memorial game for a former Kingston player who passed away name of Danny Barnes who died of skin cancer. The first year that it was a memorial game, Alec Tocco of Rondout worked with HeadStrong foundation as a senior project to raise awareness. Now we still play it in memory of Danny Barnes but we haven’t started to raise money for the cause.
