Fun, Donkey B-Ball Style


On Friday night there was a good ol' game of Donkey Basketball in Cusick. There were 4 teams competing for the title, and my sister Jessica & cousin Don's Freshman/Sophomore class team won! They beat the Seniors (my brother Jon Paul's class, but he declined to play), the Juniors (cousin Tera's class), and the teachers team!

My cousin Don was also a key player for The Road Apples
The rules say you can only shoot & pass from on top of the donkey, although lots of people jump off to chase the ball. The donkey's aren't very enthusiastic about chasing the balls around. And it's not that easy to get onto a donkey holding a basketball.

We can't even wear outdoor shoes in our gymnasium. I'm going to show these photos to our head of phys-ed and watch him have a heart attack!

PS Glad to hear that your dad is responding well to treatment.
