Senior Vs. Staff Basketball Game - The game is this Friday, March 24th. In my previous blog post, I shared some training pictures of me dunking as I predicted that my hard work would pay off and we will once again beat the Seniors. Just to show that hard work does pay off I am 78% sure this is me after our last staff championship game holding the trophy and donning my Waukesha Celtics warm-up top and my Waukesha East-side all-star shorts of which I plan to take a similar picture in this outfit this year after our victory! Let's go staff!!! My hair is simply amazing.
