When I visualized myself playing basketball in my middle school gym class, I imagined making an unexpected shot with Herculean effort that inspired my teammates to carry me atop their shoulders as I basked in the glory — a legendary point that would be passed down through every grade.
Unfortunately this was more likely to happen:
So I usually “forgot” my gym clothes and watched from the sidelines instead. Perhaps if I’d seen this video in my younger years I would have been inspired to go for that shot that seemed impossible and to really believe in myself just like R. Kelly said I should in Space Jam.
Apparently Moses made a quick appearance at The Stillwater Area High School Homecoming a couple days ago. It was quite a spectacle. There was a huge blackout when suddenly baby powder magic dust was released in the air and suddenly the stands were transformed into a redout. Moses, (played by Michael Fredrick) appeared and parted the Red Sea.
It’s been a big year for Fredrick. Along with being Moses at Homecoming he was the homecoming King. Donned in a beard, robe and sunglasses, he escorted his Queen (Jackie Ellingson) down the bleachers.
On that note, the most special guest at my high school’s basketball competition (we weren’t allowed to play football) was our school mascot, a hawk.
