game. After watching this game, I am thinking that the teachers need to watch their speed over the next few days as they travel the roads! One of our teachers fouled out!
Seriously, the police officers are no slouches where basketball playing is concerned. After watching them play an effortless game, I am more impressed than ever by them. They had just come off a twelve hour shift, and were "winding down" with a game of basketball. They were polite, they joked with each other, and they teased the teachers. Several of the officers had been taught by some of the teachers in the building. The respect between the staff and the police was evident throughout the game. The students sitting in the stands engaged in good natured banter with each other, and with the staff. You've got to admit, when you're watching Math Teachers make 3 point shots from half court, and you're watching a social studies teacher outrun a 6'5" officer, and then pass the ball back to another player through the legs of said officer, you have to respect their athleticism. Of course, the Officers won. They beat the staff by seven points. Handshakes, hugs, and high fives ruled the court at the end of the game.
I am a little curious, though. I know the officers have tomorrow off. I really want to know how many of the teachers end up calling in too sore to come in to work tomorrow? You could tell that some of them were definitely feeling it when the game was over.
Thanks to all of the staff and officers for showing the kids such great sportsmanship, and coming out to have fun with each other on a Thursday night. You set a great example for our kids!
