Ewen-Trout Creek School, Saturday,
September 27, 2008
The long awaited Harlem Wizard exhibition games took place
Saturday during the Annual Ewen Log Jamboree. There were two
games played the first at 4:00 PM and a second game at
7:00 PM. The games were fundraising events, produced by the
E-TC Elementary School Booster Club. The games were
great fun even for those of us who are not necessarily
basketball fans. |
| The Wizard MC was :The Voice - Thompson"
and the MC for the Loggers was Mr. Ted "The Biker"
Trudgeon. |

| Practice makes perfect, but Wizard's don't
seem too concerned as they watch "the Logger's"
breaking out in a sweat during pre-game practice. |

Loggers" members of the Loggers included Brad
Besonen, Jacky Besonen, Angela Berglund, Josh Schott, Allie

Big Surprises come in small packages -
That's the coach's wife Jacky Besonen, the kindergarten
Teacher at E-TC.
She's used to kid's stuff! So watch
out Big Mike! |

Above Rocket Man, No. 24 puts up another
free throw. These guys seldom miss the free throws. |
 |
| Half Time Fun. Kids stand in a circle
surrounding "Broadway", who will toss the ball
(sometimes) to one of the kids. If they miss the ball they
are eliminated from the game. Each time someone misses the
crowd yells "You Been Had!" Not to worry
though each of the participants leaves the court with a
Wizard poster. They had a great time. Some the boys showed
great reflects and did quite well. Were you watching Coach? |
 |
| Keep your eye on the ball - Broadway does some
Razzle Dazzle to catch kids off guard.. However, the young
lady below gave the Wizards and the crowd a big laugh when she
gave
Broadway what for! As the winner she received a Wizard
Basket Ball and a Poster. |
