Ballin’ Back-to-School

The Back-to-School season is nearly upon us.  While students may not be so thrilled to head back to the classrooms, they ARE excited about the coming season of school sports.  Kentucky Oaks Mall will make Back-to-School shopping a little more fun by hosting two returning college basketball favorites.  On Saturday, July 26, Otega Oweh and Trent Noah will be in the mall’s Center Court, taking pictures and signing autographs 10:30 AM – 12:30 PM.  Photographs are FREE for all attendees. The first 75 fans in line will get FREE autographs.  For all others, the price will be $50, with both players signing one item per person.  

Oweh is a 6’, 4” Junior guard from Newark, New Jersey.  In the 2024-25 season, he scored in double figures in each of the team’s first 26 games and 33 overall.  That 26-game streak was the longest of any SEC player to begin the season. 

Noah the 6’, 5” forward from Harlan, Kentucky has become a fan favorite.  Trent finished his high school career as the state of Kentucky’s fifth all-time leading scorer in high school basketball history and appeared in 24 games during his Freshman season

Kentucky Oaks Mall is located on Interstate 24, Exits 3 and 4, in Paducah, Kentucky.  The mall complex has been serving the people Western Kentucky, Southern Illinois, and Eastern Missouri since 1983.   For more information about mall merchants and events, go to www.kentuckyoaksmall.com.  Kentucky Oaks Mall is owned and managed in association with Cafaro-affiliated companies, based in Niles, Ohio.  To learn more about the Cafaro organization, visit the website www.cafarocompany.com.
