County Lions

I was honored over the last weekend by being selected to play in a benefit basketball game against the Harlem Ambassadors, a poor man's Globetrotters. What I mean by selected is that Pa was gracious enough to pay people to make me a member of the team. I am hoping this was the first time he had to do that. Although it did not seem like big deal to him, so I am rethinking some previous team memberships. It was basically a 32 minute game with 8 minutes quarters with clocks that were nonstop. So I played 8 minutes total, but started the game, but for all I know dad could have added a little bit more on the top of my entry fee for the starting position. We had 20 players on the County Lions from all across our great county. Each player had an even 8 minutes of playing time against 6, yes SIX, Ambassadors. We only lost by 30ish. There were loads of dunks, none of which by a County Lion member. My stat line was as follows: 1 shot blocked (unfortunately my shot was the one blocked), 1 rebound, and 1 assist. The event was to raise money for the Lions' Clubs in the area. It was a fun event and I was happy that Maddie and Mommy were able to see me play in one of my favorite gyms, even if it was 10 years past my prime.
