Bucks County Basketball Charity Event - Philadelphia Eagles

I had to write a blog entry about a recent basketball experience that I had.  As anyone who knows me can attest, I am a bit of a sports nut.  I love to watch sports, and have coached and played many sports over the years.  I play basketball several times a week, locally.  If anyone wants to know where there is basketball played in the Yardley-Newtown area, just ask me. 

My daughter, Rachel, recently won a bid at a local charity auction to gift to me that related to my love for basketball.  She was the top bidder for an opportunity to play in a basketball game with the Philadelphia Eagles, travelling basketball team.  The Eagles have a group of players, that plays a 7 or 8 game schedule in the off-season.  They do it as a fund raising effort, for local charities. 

As a result, on Friday evening, my wife Jane, Rachel and myself, travelled to a high school in Downingtown, so that I could play with the Eagles.  What a great experience for me!  It definitely brought back memories of my high school and college days, playing a variety of competitive sports.  I was given a uniform, warm up shirt, and shorts, and suited up with the Eagles.  We played 10 minute quarters, and for those interested, I did hit a couple of jump shots.  The gym was packed, and it was incredible fun!  The Eagle players who participated, were AJ Feeley, Hank Baskett, Juqua Thomas, Omar Gaither and Quintin Mikell.  All could play!  They were extremely supportive of my participation, and constantly encouraged me to shoot.  I had a great workout, and really enjoyed myself.  It was an event that I will not soon forget.

I realize this has nothing to do with real estate, other than to make anyone who plays basketball, aware of the fact that I can help find games, for those interested.
