We did a side game where everyone picked a player and whoever had the game's highest scorer got to pick where we go to dinner so that kept them entertained.
This is a great side game. Nicely done!
Agreed, but you've left us hanging. Did anyone pick Rollins? If not, how about Carter? Regardless, what restaurant did the winner pick and did it continue to entertain? Asking for a friend who also has a HS freshman . . .
I will admit I kind of rigged it because rather than drawing names for draft choice, it just became whoever shouted out their pick first (this was while we were driving) so naturally I said Mark Sears pretty quickly, and my son followed with BVP right away. Then the boys got on their phones and looked up stats and 1 kid nabbed Rollins right away, while another took Schumate and the last kid took Jason Carter. At one point it was very close between Rollins & Carter, and for a 3 minute stretch it looked like Sears was gonna enter the chat.
Because I had three 14-15 year olds in tow at 9:00 on a Friday night, all the bar-type places were out of the discussion. In the end the winner picked the new Mexican restaurant uptown...kind of a boring Athens pick. We tried to persuade something like Big Mamas, Goodfellas, Union Street to no avail...but the Mexican place was good.
I did this with a different set of people (and other son) for the Kent game too. That was was an exciting one...BVP blew the doors off in the 1st half but ended up a back and forth battle with Sears & Carry.
