The Federal Way Police Department out-shot and out-dribbled South King Fire and Rescue during an annual benefit basketball challenge at the Federal Way Community Center on Saturday.

Police won the game by a close score of 45-43.

During the 12-minute quarters, the Federal Way Lions Club raffled off prizes, including two bicycles and four-hour ride-alongs with both teams. Proceeds will benefit the local Lions Club, whose mission is to empower volunteers to serve their communities, meet humanitarian needs, encourage peace and promote international understanding through Lions clubs.

Attendees also enjoyed a barbecue hot dog feast and took photos with the Easter bunny during the Helen Keller Day Basketball Challenge.

The club recognized Mike Persha as originator of the club’s annual basketball game. Since 2009, Federal Way police have defeated South King Fire every year, except for 2012.
