Donkey Basketball

We were all excited for the annual Donkey basketball game in Avery. Chaz got to come home this weekend so we all headed out to the school to enjoy the excitement!




It all started with the Pledge to the flag....

Then a quick game of pick the dollar up without touching the floor....
This poor girl really gave it her all - she ended up winning, but not on this try
And then finally time for the game to start. A quick review for those of you who have never had the honor of attending a Donkey Basketball game.....
1 - you cannot let go of your donkey - EVER
2 - you must be sitting on your donkey to shoot or steal the ball



The game was so much fun - donkeys truely are stubborn and it was fun to watch the players trying to push, pull or even drag their donkey down the court. There were a few of the animals that just weren't in the mood for a rider so they bucked them off every time they tried to get on.
Avery ended up winning the game 36 - 8 over DeKalb. Great job to both schools though - they did MUCH better than I would have done!
The fun ended with a game of musical donkeys. The players were FFA moms and booster club members - I am telling you these ladies were ruthless - and all to win the title of Miss Jackass 2009!

Remember this is an annual event, so if you find yourself in our neck of the woods next October, come join the fun! =)

Not sure who comes up with them, but it was fun ~ actually a bit funny at times =)
I thought the pictures would enlarge when you clicked on them - sorry they are a little hard to see.
