Golden Triangle residents who want to hang out with a professional basketball player will have the chance this weekend when the city of Starkville celebrates Travis Outlaw Day.
Outlaw is a Starkville High School graduate who averaged 12.8 points per game during the 2008-2009 season for the Portland Trailblazers of the NBA. He will be on hand Saturday at McKee Park for a day full of food, fun, prizes and more.
“This is Travis’ way of giving back to the community and letting the community know how much he appreciates all the support they have given him,” said Markeeta Outlaw, Travis’ mother and Starkville city clerk. “For us, it’s more of a way of letting the community come out and visit with Travis and talk with him so he can personally thank them. We invite the whole community to come out and have fun with us.”
