Malcolm Butler Weekend in Vicksburg concluded with the former NFL star’s celebrity basketball game.

Several hundred people turned out to watch a team of Vicksburg High and Warren Central alumni play on the court, while other music and entertainment filled the air in Warren Central’s gym.

The event followed Butler’s annual youth football camp on Saturday. Nearly 200 children in grades 1-12 attended that event at Vicksburg High School’s Memorial Stadium.
