Red Out Milton v. Edgerton Basketball Game Fundraiser

Edgerton and Milton basketball teams honored Ilir Banushi at this conference basketball game. The community showed up wearing red apparel in memory of Ilir, all proceeds being donated back into the community. At the game, Ilir's youngest son, Brenon, played alongside his teammates to lead Milton to victory. Had the game been played a couple decades before, Ilir would be seen playing ball on the Edgerton side.
