DONKEY BASKETBALL

Fun Fundraiser A Hit For Kimball Ranch Rodeo

The Kimball Jr/Sr High School gym was full of basketball fans Monday night as Donkey Basketball took center stage. Kimball Ranch Rodeo sponsored the event as a fundraiser.

Four teams competed for the championship title, with Teacher's Pets crushing their opponents.

The first game pitted Teacher's Pets against the Banner County Wrecking Crew. Then the Eh Ranch Rough Riders took on the Hot Shots. Finally, on their home court, the Teacher's Pets team outscored the Rough Riders in the final seconds.

The Rough Riders had help from Australian David Keeve. Although inexperienced, Keeve admitted this was his first time playing basketball and his first time riding a donkey. He looked like a professional out there in his shorts.
