Lafayette High School will host a wheelchair basketball game on Saturday to benefit student Austin Whitten who was injured in a swimming accident last summer.

The Chattanooga Lady Mocs, playing in wheelchairs, will face off with athletes from Atlanta's Shepherd Center.

Austin remains in a wheelchair since injuring his neck in a swimming accident last summer. Proceeds from the game will help build the Whitten family a carport at their home and with physical therapy treatments for Austin.

The game starts at 1:30 Saturday at Lafayette High School. Tickets are $5 with children under 5 admitted free.
