Let’s call πŸ“ž this one the story about Anthony Barnes, Basketball πŸ€ Moms, Marion Harris and what one does when all four local College teams are unavailable……

When both teams from Utah Tech and Southern Utah University are all off or away, you sneak further into the desert 🏜 for your basketball πŸ€ action 🎬.

One of my better jump ball captures !

1pm PST Tip with the Running Rebels Men playing in the big part of the building at 4pm.

Head Coach Anthony Barnes just shared his thoughts on the game last night and here in a bit I will get started on the game story for him. Being that this one is as close to Christmas πŸŽ„ as it is, this gamer will come with a OneofUs.Care twist.

Yesterday, it was one of the players Mothers πŸ‘© that was helping me gather information and that triggered a thought process for me.  Beginning with the starting lineup, I realized that I had experienced the privilege of meeting each of the Mothers πŸ‘© involved.

Once that was in my brain 🧠, there was no turning back. So, where I would normally type Blake Reed it will say Sam’s Boy, Isaiah Easter = Vickie’s Boy, etc, etc, etc…. Nothing but neat Ladies across the board.

How does Marion Harris tie πŸ‘” into all ? Mr Harris is set to be our eyes πŸ‘€ and ears back on The Hill as both the Junior Varsity and Varsity Girls are set to host games in our Christmas event!!

New Mexico (8-2) scored the first six points of the game before UNLV (5-5)  went on a 28 – 4 run πŸƒβ€β™‚οΈ….Momentum is real, especially in Basketball πŸ€… End of 1st, 31 – 13

Late in the 3rd quarter over in Nashville, Kira Lawson and the Lady Blue Devils are closing in on a 6th victory.

54 – 32, Rebels at the break…

Teddy 🧸🐻🧸🐻 Bear toss !

74 – 53 after 3…New Mexico swished a 3-pointer from beyond half court to end the third but it was ruled too late.

6 – 6 on the season now.
Final Score

Now we are roughly 100 feet away for the Men’s Basketball game between UNLV and Fresno State. Fun Fact being Fresno State us the closet University to my hometown of Lemoore, California !
