Our family likes to attend community events like high school and college sports in the Helena area. A few weeks ago, we decided to go to the Carroll College basketball games. We went last year when they played Westminster College from Salt Lake, because a student from my very first year of teaching was playing for Westminster. He was an eighth grader in 1998 and was now a senior in college. I talked to him at the game and he remembered me. It was funny now to see him as a 24 year old grown up, but he looked the same, just a little bigger. So, we decided to the game this year even though he had graduated, because Westminster is one of the higher ranked teams for the NAIA Frontier Conference. Rori just goes to basketball games for the mascots and the food. Rori is terrified of actually being near the mascots, so she yells at them from afar. Hey, dog!! (Carroll's mascot) Rylie goes for the mascots, food, free t-shirts and balls as well, but isn't afraid of mascots anymore. In fact, apparently we had been to a few too many games in a short amount of time. Before we left, Rori wanted to know if the tiger and the bear were going to be there. We went to crosstown basketball here and the mascots are the Bengals(aka tiger) and the Bruins (aka bear).
So, last year at this particular game, a certain basketball legend had made an appearance and I thought maybe he would again this year. I tucked my camera into my purse hoping for the best. Last year, I was the first to spot said celebrity and as luck would have it, I was again standing in the doorway when he walked into the gym.
I'm not going to tell you who it is. You have to identify him yourself!
Did you get it yet??
