You’ve seen the college basketball coaches roaming the sidelines in the suits and the sneakers.

Now Coaches Versus Cancer, one of the legacies of late North Carolina State basketball Coach Jim Valvano, is trickling down to the high school level.

Los Osos is hoping for a ‘white out’ in the stands at 6:30 p.m. Friday to raise cancer awareness when it plays host to Alta Loma in a Baseline League game. Anyone wearing white will be admitted to the game for free and donations will be collected for the Cancer Society.

The Grizzlies are taking part in a worthwhile cause that deserves everyone’s support.

Ben Bolch has been a Los Angeles Times staff writer since 1999. He is serving his second stint as the UCLA beat writer, which seems fitting since he has covered almost every sports beat except hockey and horse racing. Bolch is also the author of the recently released book “100 Things UCLA Fans Should Know & Do Before They Die.” He previously covered UCLA basketball from 2010-11 before going on to cover the NBA and the Clippers for five years. He happily traded in gobs of hotel points and airline miles to return to cover UCLA basketball and football in the summer of 2016. Bolch was once selected by NBA TV’s “The Starters” as the “Worst of the Week” after questioning their celebrity journalism-style questions at an NBA All-Star game and considers it one of his finer moments.
