BEASTS OF BURDEN? - In the photo at left, players including Roger Halsey (right) and Michael Lyall (second from right) try to direct their four-footed partners during a "donkey ball" basketball game Feb. 28 in the Alleghany High School gym. A competitor was required to be on his donkey in order to shoot.
The event, organized by Keshia LouAnne Spurlin as her AHS senior project,
raised $1,500 for exceptional children's education. Although the game's
outcome itself was not the main attraction, the "Sparta Idiots" defeated the
"Sparta Jackasses" 20-15. In the photo at right, Sherill Bottomley takes one
of the event's many falls.
