Parks and Recreation Department's Jr. Bobcats Play
at Halftime of Charlotte Bobcats Game
By:
Steve Clark - Hall Gym, Recreation Coordinator
On Saturday, November 22, two Jr. Bobcat
teams (9-10 age division) from the Salisbury Parks and Recreation
Department's Jr. Bobcats basketball program were invited to play a
short game during halftime of the Charlotte Bobcats game against the
Milwaukee Bucks.
As members of the Jr. Bobcats youth
basketball program, teams are occasionally invited to participate
during Charlotte Bobcats games. Steve Clark, Recreation Coordinator
at Hall Gym received a last minute phone call asking if any of his
teams would be able to participate. Clark called two of his veteran
coaches Steve Yang and Dickie Stoner. Yang and Stoner were able to
round up all ten players from each team to attend the game along
with their family members. Each player received one free ticket for
themselves and one additional ticket.
More than 80 players, coaches and
friends, from the Salisbury Parks and Recreation Department family
attended the game. The twenty Jr. Bobcats players played six minutes
of exciting basketball at halftime and shared an experience that
will last a life time.
The Salisbury Parks
and Recreation Department is thankful to the
Charlotte Bobcats for such an awesome opportunity!
