"What is so fascinating about sitting around watching a bunch of pituitary cases stuff a ball through a hoop?" ~Woody Allen, Annie Hall

I'm not a sports person, I don't understand the rules of the game most of the time and If you would have asked me what the lines on the gym floor where for I'd have told you they where there for decoration! But for some reason I really enjoy watching our schools basketball teams, I think there is something about knowing the people playing that makes it a good time! Also this year as an ASB Officer I got the chance to toss out prizes to the crowd during Time Outs which made it all the more entertaining. Unfortunately this year was the first year in a while we didn't even qualify for NWAACS (I don't know what it stands for but it's the state tournament for Basketball, that's enough info right?) Which was surprising to me, because I felt like we had a lot of players this year that played with a lot of heart, but oh well! Big Bend is always #1 in my heart!


Top 5 favorite things and moments from this season where



5. The delicious hot dogs at the concession stand, and my free pretzel w/cheese and a soda didn't taste too shabby either!


4. Making those paper fortune tellers and Rhen discovering that her future entails loneliness and an over abundance of cats! and Rhoan being told he's the next American Idol!


3. Almost decapitating that old man when I tried to toss him a seat cushion (steered clear of those the rest of the time)




2. The baseball players cheering "Left, Right, Left Right, Left, Right. . . ." as an opposing player got fouled out of the game, it seriously took him like five minutes to take his seat, but the Baseball cheering squad being as stalwart as they where continued to shout until finally he did and they all yelled "SIT DOWN". Their commitment to the art of heckling was inspiring!
and finally



1. First home game that went into triple over time, long night, but when Michael Hatar kept getting those 3 pointers at the last second that tied us up it instantly brought my pep back, best game ever!




This is not our team, and I'm sorta glad because this type of stretching and all the butt slapping, make me wonder sometimes???




Yum Licorice is good!



Thor. . . .our fearless Mascot!






This is the prize tossing crew. . . from L-R Virginia Valdez, Andrew Hyer, Rhen Ashby, Brady Coulston, Me, and Angela Fales.

Dale our Announcer/ DJ has been a B-Ball game staple since I can remember! he's also famous for playing Final Countdown as the players enter the court, and is quite partial to the Footloose and Space Jam Soundtrack!
