Jackson Senior-Staff Basketball Game

For the past 19 years, the Jackson High School staff have challenged the Seniors to a basketball game.  They use the proceeds of the admission to fund staff scholarships each year.  It is very well attended, in part because some person had a great idea and used it as the first chance to pass out yearbooks.

The students love the chance to beat the staff, and the staff love the fact that "It gives Seniors the feeling of what it is like to lose to out-of-shape, over-the-hill, completely un-athletic 40-year olds."

The staff had a 12-6 record going into the game, with last year's game being won by the students on a three point buzzer beater.  This year, the staff was down by 1 going into the last three minutes when the students put their A team on the court.  The staff held the students scoreless and sank the clutch free throw to put it away 93-91.

Gail's contribution was 3 minutes at the beginning of the 4th quarter, running around after one of the Seniors that go to our church.  She did touch the ball once this year, and was called for travelling.
