Well, the young men needed a fund raiser and were feeling pretty good about their basketball skills ... they won the region championship for Church ball this year... so they arranged the "Big Game." We have 3 of the Snow Canyon basketball coaches and the vice principal in the ward so the game took place in the high school gym with the sound system and scoreboard going. The vice principal was the MC and he did a great job of it. He even found a "pacman" song to play when Bryan got in the game. ;)
While the Priests were playing ball, the Teachers Quorum washed cars for a $10 donation in front of the school. Then there were all kinds of treats and raffle tickets sold to make some more money. They even had an auction for Tuacahn tickets (which I won for both shows!).
The Beehives were the cheerleaders for the Priests. Courtney felt bad that the old men didn't have any cheerleaders so she grabbed a couple of friends and they were the cheerleaders. They even asked the MC if he would let them do a half-time show (well, fourth quarter show) and they were really cute. Courtney has no fear getting up and dancing in front of everyone and she can move! During the breaks in the game they had kids games to play. Courtney twirled around a bat to get dizzy and then ran to shoot a shot. Ethan had a bunch of friends at the game and they played capture the flag and other games. Everyone had a great time and I hope it becomes an annual thing.
Unfortunately, despite their age and knowledge, the old men lost the game. They didn't play that well, although many will blame the officiating. But I think they were just out played.
