Men in Black

 

Priests vs. High Schoolers = the annual Men in Black game! It's held every year as a way of raising awareness for vocations to the priesthood and several parishes from the county participate. I'm proud to say that HT always has the largest group of fans in the stands, we've maintained our rep as the loud, obnoxious group, and this year was no different! Tonight's game was the closest I've seen for a while! In the history of the MIB game, the kids always win over the priests, this year the priests almost had it! With 40 seconds left in the 4th period, the score was 40 to 40. The kids ended up pulling out a few last minute shots (as did the priests but it wasn't enough) and the final score was 44-41 to the kids.

It was great to hang out with everybody from HT, especially the newly Confirmed. We even had a couple former Youth Ministers show up (yay!) and it was soooo good to catch up and say hi to the little kiddies! :) By the end of the game, I was losing my voice from talking and cheering so much, hopefully it'll be back tomorrow, although I don't think Dan would mind the break ;)

This picture is what we did when the "Yutes" (the kids) made their free throws. For some reason, Spirit Fingers came out and I'm not sure why, because according to the UMD grad, you just stand there with your arms out and go "woosh" if they make it. HTYM's always been a little off and does tend to make things their own. According to Steve, "You don't have to be crazy to join HTYM, we'll train you."  XD

All in all, a VERY good night and a great game!
