Cumulus vs. Cops for St. Jude's

On Saturday, I went to a charity basketball game benefiting St. Jude's Children's Hospital. It was Cumulus (our local radio station) vs. the Cops (OCSO). I didn't actually play as basketball isn't a sport I ever really got into (I actually don't even like watching it much) but this game was entertaining. There was also another VERY good reason to watch, one of the referees was Coach Lavin (the picture in the slide show says it all!!) And the cops also had a secret weapon on the roster in K-9 "Tyson". Who was going to mess with him??? Naturally, I was an aging cheerleader for the cops! It was so much fun and what a turnout. Nearly 1,000 people packed the FWB High School gym to watch the game and the total raised for St Jude Children's Research Hospital was $6681.60 which is awesome. And the Cops kicked butt with the final score 104-90, winning the "sprinkled donut" trophy. What a great community we live in that so many people will turn out for such a great cause! We already have the rematch scheduled for January 30 next year so hope to see you all there. Enjoy some of the pics!
