LEWIS CO. C-1 - Home of the Cougars

🏀🔥 PLAYER SPOTLIGHT: THE FOUL PATROL! 🔥🏀

🚨 4 DAYS UNTIL THE HARLEM WIZARDS COME TO HIGHLAND! 🚨

Meet Lewis County C-1's SRO Jason Slater, better known on the court as “The Foul Patrol”! 🚔🏀

By day, he's keeping the hallways safe. By night, he's preparing to commit several basketball violations of his own! 😂

🏫 Representing: Lewis County C-1 SRO
👕 Jersey: #00 - The only double-double he'll be getting!
📏 Height: 6'0"
🎯 Position: Powerless Forward. All the responsibilities of a power forward, just none of the power.
🏀 Basketball Experience: 2009 Gus Macker Tournament. That's right, folks. He's been riding that résumé for 17 YEARS! 🏆😂
🔥 Favorite Player: Larry Bird. Unfortunately, the only thing they have in common is that neither one is playing in the NBA today.
😂 Worst Basketball Skill: "All of 'em."
At least he's self-aware. The scouting report is just a blank sheet of paper. 📋
🥦 Favorite Food: Jennifer Parrish's broccoli soup! Apparently, the secret to peak athletic performance is a warm bowl of broccoli soup. Who knew?
😂 Who's Most Likely to Embarrass Themselves? Meleah Eisenberg! 👀
No hesitation. No explanation. Just Meleah. 😂
🏀 Prediction for the Game: "One broken backboard and several broken prides."

We've heard the Wizards have a few broken backboards under their belt, but we're confident it won't be the Big Cats doing it💀😂

🚨 COME WATCH THE CHAOS! 🚨

Jason and the rest of the BIG CATS are getting ready to take on the HARLEM WIZARDS for a night of basketball, laughs, and questionable athletic decisions!

📅 Monday, October 26
⏰ 6:30 PM

🏀 BIG CATS VS. HARLEM WIZARDS! 🏀

🏀🔥 PLAYER SPOTLIGHT: CLINT SMITH! 🔥🏀

Meet Clint Smith, a man who isn't afraid to admit where his basketball talents are best utilized... IN THE STANDS! 😂🏀

Clint is representing Canton R-V, and while some of our players are coming in with championship dreams, Clint seems perfectly content just being part of the experience!

🏫 Representing: Canton R-V
👕 Jersey Number: #67
📏 Height: 6'1½" (That extra half-inch matters!)
🎯 Position: Spectator 👀🍿

We asked Clint a few very important questions before he takes on the Harlem Wizards!

🔥 Favorite Basketball Team: Iowa Hawkeyes! 🟡⚫
A loyal Hawkeyes fan! Let's hope he brings some of that Big Ten energy to the Big Cats!
😂 Worst Basketball Skill: "All of them." 😂 Shooting? Nope. Dribbling? Nope. Defense? Also nope.
At least he's honest! And suddenly, that spectator position is making a whole lot more sense! 😂
🍔 Favorite Food: "Everything." 🍕🍔🌮
Finally, an athlete with a well-rounded diet! Clint doesn't discriminate when it comes to food. If it's edible, it's probably on the menu!
🏀 Prediction for the Game: "A lot to a little." 🔥
No specific score. No complicated strategy. Just pure confidence!

Apparently, Clint is leaving the details to the scoreboard operator! 😂

With a jersey number of 67, a position of spectator, and absolutely ZERO confidence in his basketball skills, Clint might just be the most self-aware player on the roster! 😂

Will Clint surprise everyone and step onto the court, or will he lead the league in minutes spent watching? 👀🍿

Come see Clint Smith and the rest of our BIG CATS take on the HARLEM WIZARDS!

🚨 ONLY 6 DAYS UNTIL TIP-OFF! 🚨

🏀🔥 PLAYER SPOTLIGHT: SID THE SLOTH! 🔥🏀

Meet Mrs. Sidney Edwards, better known on the court as “Sid the Sloth”! 🦥🏀

Don't let the nickname fool you! Sidney is a former college athlete who knows her way around a basketball court. The only question is whether she's still got the moves or if the Sloth nickname is going to live up to its reputation! 😂

🏫 Representing: Canton R-V
👕 Jersey Number: #11
📏 Height: 6'0"
🎯 Position: Assistant TO the Assistant Coach (A very prestigious title, we're sure! 😂)

We asked Sidney a few very important questions before she takes on the Harlem Wizards!

🏀 Basketball Experience: College Athlete! 💪🏀
She's got the experience, the height, and the athletic background! We're starting to think "Sid the Sloth" might just be a strategy to throw off the competition!
🔥 Favorite Basketball Player: Caitlin Clark! 🎯
A solid choice! Now let's see if Sidney can channel a little of that Caitlin Clark magic on game night!
😂 Worst Basketball Skill: Dribbling.
Six feet tall, college athlete, and the basketball still doesn't cooperate? 😂 Good thing passing is an option!
🍝 Favorite Food: Alfredo! Because nothing says game-day fuel quite like a big plate of pasta!
😂 Who's Most Likely to Embarrass Themselves? Mr. Edwards! 😂

AND THERE IT IS! 🚨 Coach Edwards threw Mrs. Edwards under the bus. Now she's returning the favor!

Apparently, the biggest rivalry on October 26th won't be the Big Cats vs. the Harlem Wizards. It'll be Coach Edwards vs. Mrs. Edwards! 😂🍿

🏀 Prediction for the Game: "Win by 50!" 🔥
Hold on a second... Coach Edwards predicted a 90-point victory, and Mrs. Edwards is only calling for 50?! Somebody in the Edwards household needs to get their game plan straight! 😂

Will Sid the Sloth prove she's still got that college-athlete magic, or will Coach Edwards have the last laugh? 👀

Come see Mrs. Sidney Edwards and the rest of our BIG CATS take on the HARLEM WIZARDS! Only 6 more days until Tip-Off!!!!!!!

🏀🔥 PLAYER SPOTLIGHT: THE SHARPSHOOTER! 🔥🏀

Meet Nickolas Edwards, better known on the court as “Sharpshooter”! 🎯🏀

Nickolas spends his days coaching basketball at Canton R-V, but on October 26th, it's HIS turn to show everyone how it's done! Let's just hope his players aren't watching too closely! 😂

🏫 Representing: Canton R-V
👕 Jersey Number: #17
📏 Height: 5'11"
🎯 Position: Bench Player (By choice, apparently!)

We asked Nickolas a few very important questions before he takes on the Harlem Wizards!

🏀 Basketball Experience: Played basketball in high school and is currently the Varsity Head Basketball Coach at Canton R-V! 🏀
He's spent plenty of time telling players what to do from the sidelines. Now it's time to see if Coach can practice what he preaches! 😂
🔥 Favorite Basketball Player: LeBron James 👑
A fellow student of the game. Although we're pretty sure LeBron gets a little more playing time!
😂 Worst Basketball Skill: Rebounding.
He's a sharpshooter, not a cleanup crew! Somebody else can chase those missed shots! 🏀
🍔 Favorite Food: Cheeseburgers. Because even coaches need a solid pregame meal!
😂 Who's Most Likely to Embarrass Themselves? Mrs. Edwards! 😂
No hesitation. Just threw Mrs. Edwards straight under the bus! Hopefully she's got a comeback ready!
🏀 Prediction for the Game: "Us by 90!" 😳🔥

Coach isn't just predicting a win. He's predicting the kind of score that makes the other team reconsider playing basketball altogether!

Will the Sharpshooter live up to his name, or will his own players have some coaching advice for HIM after the game? 👀😂

Come see Nickolas Edwards and the rest of our BIG CATS take on the HARLEM WIZARDS!
