Ellsworth Dream Team 2012

Last night Matt participated in a charity basketball game featuring the Ellsworth "Dream Team" against the Harlem Superstars.  The "Dream Team" consisted of Matt and all of his fellow salesman from Darlings Chevrolet, as well as some of the guys from the Ellsworth Police Department, and a few other guys from various other businesses, schools, etc.  Matt and I were both a little bit apprehensive about what might happen in a "comedy" basketball game, but it turns out we had nothing to fear. Matt had a blast and I enjoyed watching my all-star player and cheering him on from the stands. Here are a few pics of the action.


 
There's my man standing to the right of the guy in the red shirt. This is a pre-game warm up shot.
 
 
 
My man and the guys he played his shift with.
 
 
In action!!


 
Matt had to shoot some hoops for the Superstars, and since he couldn't seem to make the hoop, the guys decided to "recline" and get out of the way to try to help him out. Here they all are "chillin" on the floor. =)
 
 
They finally let him come closer to the hoop, and he made a basket. Here one of the Superstars is congratulating him on his basket.
 

 
There's my McFarland #5 running down the court!!
 
 
Watching his teammates "duke it out" with the Harlem Superstars.

Hope you enjoy the game in pictures as much as we did in person! :-)

Glad you enjoyed the pics! Thank you for letting me know the link worked....I wasn't sure if it would! At the first of the video when the announcer is announcing each player, when he says "from Darling's Chevrolet" and then it fades into another scene, he was actually announcing Matt, the video just clipped before he actually said Matt's name! :-)
@Mom
We did have fun! Just wondering if the link worked for you. I thought afterwards that it might only work if you have a Facebook account. My apologies if you couldn't view the link!
