And all the reasons they called Melvin the Helicopter!

Seems like a strange group of people.

Well there was a smattering of Ben gal cheerleaders to even things out!

 

 

 

 

Nice pics but feeling much better about staying home.

There's no accident there!!!

Is this really necessary???? Does anyone actually enjoy this??? Does anyone find this, and the Jr Bengal Cheerleaders entertaining???

 

This entire Bluegrass-Buckeye event is obviously on life-support, and to further annoy us with this inane "celebrity" torture on an annual basis only makes things worse.

 

The only people in the house at that time (about 300), were those interested in seeing the Scott - LexCath game and a few scouts. I'm sure the GRC contingency that had to drive home to Winchester following the game were particularly entertained. I'd include the Lexington Catholic fans, but there weren't any.

 

If the intent is to sell tickets to the parents/friends of the Jr Bengal Cheerleaders and the middle-school kids who play at halftime, I think the baby (the high school games) is being thrown away with the bath water (celebrity games and kids events).

 

Perhaps I'm in the minority here, but I don't think so.

 

Painful!!! Very painful!!!

WOW! Harsh! Where to begin. Several people have mentioned it is a great idea to let the grade school/middle school kids and special needs kids play on a college floor, in a big arena, in front of a few 100 people, it means a lot to these KIDS. As well as to the little girls who are out there cheering at halftime. Nothing else going on at halftime.

 

God forbid these kids are trying to have a good time doing something they like, and trying to make people smile by thinking its nice or cute or whatever. Why not have someone just stand at the corner of the court when they come off and tell them that no one liked what they did and everyone wished they were not even there, that they were boring and a waste of time, maybe one will get a tear or two, or maybe one will actually start crying. Maybe that will be entertaining for some.

I said, "If the intent is to sell tickets to the parents/friends of the Jr Bengal Cheerleaders and the middle-school kids who play at halftime, I think the baby (the high school games) is being thrown away with the bath water (celebrity games and kids events).

 

Actually one of the most entertaining aspects of the middle-school kids playing at halftime was when they started throwing mini-basketballs into the crowd, the bench cleared and the players started chasing the loose basketballs - lol!

 

I have no problem with the middle-school kids playing at halftime, or the JRB cheerleaders cheering at the high school games' halftime, however if you were there you noted that the JRB cheerleaders were a big part of the celeb game "halftime" which dragged on forever. My problem is with the celebrity game/festivities and the motivation for even having it.

This statement I would agree with as well.

Mustang you are right on with this. That celebrity game is awful to watch and causes a lot of people to leave. I know of a lot of Mason Co. people that would have stayed to watch some of Scott and Lex Cath game if it wasn't for that celebrity game. I somehow managed to make it through it and stayed. The level of basketball at this event was awful this year also. You would thing that with arena like they have that they could get some big time teams to come. Last year the Scott Co Holmes game was very entertaining but this year there was nothing like that. If things don't change I don't see this event lasting much longer.

Remember, this is for charity.....not about those of us in attendance!

I agree. That is why the organizers need to think about what us in attendance want to see. Give us a Holmes/Scott Co. and the charities come out ahead.

I'd give them a flat out donation for their cause if they will get rid of the celebrity game!
