UT Basketball Game

Monday was a big night for the Hicks boys. Jackson's AAU basketball team had been invited to play at halftime of Tennessee's first game-it was an exhibition game against Indianapolis. His team only has 8 players so to be able to play each other they needed a couple of more players. So they asked if Colyer would be one of the extras and of course he said yes. Colyer is 2 years older than these boys but he didn't care because he was getting to play at Thompson Boling Arena. The boys got their own dressing room to change their clothes and into their shoes (that had to be spotless clean) before the game. Jeremy went down to the first row to get some pictures. They turned out pretty good. The only problem was that we ran out of disk space by the time Colyer got in so that is why there aren't any action pictures of him. Some of our friends were able to get some so hopefully I will have them soon. Neither one of the boys scored but Colyer did shoot 3 times and missed all of them. Jackson shot once and also missed. They both said they were a little nervous so that may have had something to do with it. The boys still must me in football mode :)
