Chinese Sky Lantern

This is the test flight for our 20 Anniversary Chinese Sky lantern.  AKA flying trash.
Amazingly, it actually worked.  We did not think it would rise up and float away but it got a little
high so we had to throw our fishing pole at it to knock it down.  If we can find a big open space then
we will be able to light up the remaining 19 wishing sky lanterns.

Brock's Own Hype Squad

Brock tricked a guy into shoving him on a dead ball and got to shoot a 1 & 1 free throws.  His buddies were there in the stands to cheer him on. 

We thought he was shooting the technical foul because nobody was on the line.  The refs called a foul on another kid on the play and then Brock clapped loudly and the kid shoved Brock in front of the refs.  So after Brock was done shooting then his teammate went and shot the 2 technical free throws.

Some Spartan Sophomore and Juniors cheering B on.  His buddies Colin and the twins are in the back right side of stands.

#14 on Annandale fouled out on the Technical...the Shwartz was not with him.
