Ballin’ 4 Burd

Annual Event Returns

The Second Annual Ballin’ 4 Burd Benefit Game will take place Saturday, June 16
at Matoaca High School.

The dunk contest and 3-point shootout kick things off at
6 p.m., and the game is set to begin at 7 p.m. The doors open at 5 p.m. and tickets are $10.

Former L.C. Bird star Tyrese
Rice
, now Boston College’s starting point guard, is set to participate, among a
host of other former area stars.

The game is in the honor of former Matoaca star
athlete Nick Burd, who is battling back from a car accident that took away his
walking ability.

He is the older brother of Kris Burd, the all-everything wide
receiver headed to the University of Virginia this fall.

Burd’s mother, Terry, said that Nick is doing well and has entered into a rehab program that should have Nick taking care of himself in the near future.

Burd (24) was a standout basketball player for the Warriors. He was set to play for VMI before his unfortunate accident.
