"Our Bethel Men's Basketball team is excited to compete in the first year of the Crossroads/Cascade Classic!" said Head Coach Steve Drabyn. "Having four teams of this caliber play in an early-season classic is awesome! Most programs don't get the opportunity to play teams in the non-conference from across the country, especially against the prestigious Cascade conference. We are really fortunate to have this opportunity to play against two great programs. We are honored and excited to represent the Crossroads League in this great classic hosted by Grace.
