Gunnar is Husky Hot Shot Manager of the Game!











This past winter both Gunnar and Hans took part in a basketball camp of sorts put on by the SCSU mens and women's basketball teams (Husky Hot Shots). It is a great program where the kids learn the basics of basketball from the stars of the basketball teams here at SCSU. Both boys loved learning how to play basketball and so both were very excited to start playing league b-ball this winter as well.




A couple weeks ago we got the call that Gunnar's name had been drawn to be the Husky Hot Shot Manager of the game when the men's team faced off against Winona State. Gunnar was VERY excited! The job involved handing out the game ball to the Ref at the start of the game (Gunnar's name was announced over the loudspeaker even!) and then sitting with the team on the end of the bench. While there wasn't much for Gunnar to do during the game, he very much enjoyed the attention he got from the players. Hans, Orn, and I sat on the seats right behind the team bench and at one point (as seen in the pictures), Hans joined Gunnar up on the bench. SCSU played great and won the game! A great night!
