Donkey Basketball
Since I am the Ass. Principal, it was only fitting that I should ride in the Utica FFA Donkey Basketball game last evening.
Cheryl and the girls went and had a good time. The kids rode a donkey.
The pictures below show me with the first donkey I rode. His idea of fun was to turn around and kick me when I tried to get on him. In the third quarter, I scored a couple of baskets when on a much-higher quality steed. We won 24-22 a thriller.
Speaking of thrillers, how about those Buckeyes?

Okay, a basketball update:
Zoe did very well Saturday -- she didn't score any baskets, but during the second quarter that she was in, she ran the plays very well and played great defense. She defended the other team's best player and shut her down. She also started to rebound like I showed her how to do.
***
In my previous basketball post, I referred to another coach's tactics in the first game. WELL, I got to see that coach in action in the game before Zoe's on Saturday. Wow. I'm going to keep this blog/post family-friendly and just call her an IDIOT, but that's being nice. She yelled at the ref, complained about the other team's players, and screamed at her kids, constantly! She did all of this from on the floor, of course, because they allow one coach on the floor. One of the guys who runs the league told me that he thought she had played college ball and was "coaching above their heads."
To which I can only say: bullcrap. She has no clue what she's doing, but she just rants and raves. Get this: in the game, she was so incessantly loud that the referee (the league commissioner) gave her a technical foul. That's right, a technical foul. In a 3rd-4th grade game. She was awful. Had I been a parent of a child in that game, I would've walked onto the court, ask that she be removed from the gym, and threatened to stop the game until she was gone. It was that bad.

Zoe warms up for her first game at LV Biddy League. (Addy's a year too young to play yet). The report from her mom indicates she played very well. Said Zoe: "I scored four baskets, and I used that zig-zag thing you showed me when the girl was guarding me."
The final was 30-20 bad guys (girls), but there may have been tactics employed which were not in the best interest of good sportsmanship or the rules of the league. (We'll leave it at that, and not comment on the coaching of the opposing team.)
