AUSTINTOWN An Austintown school hosted a staff versus student basketball game on Monday, with proceeds from the event going to a teacher during her battle with cancer.

The Austintown High School gymnasium event pitted the Austintown Intermediate School 5th-grade girls' and boys' teams against their teachers during "Hoop for Hope."

Money raised at the event went toward Chelsea Kachelries, a 4th-grade teacher in Austintown, to benefit her family during ongoing treatments.

In between the games, guests were able to take part in a basket raffle and enjoy music from the Austintown Fitch High School Rockband.
