The SBO's definitely have fun at games...:)

Some people ask, “Isn’t it boring going to all of the school games?” I always respond saying, “No way.” The officers are definitely obligated to be responsible, and to do well academically, but that doesn’t mean we don’t like to have fun. No matter where we are, we always find something new to entertain us.

When we board onto the school bus with the team, I often worry, because I never know what kind of trouble we’ll get into. 99% of the time we are well behaved, responsible, and on-task. It’s just the other 1% of the time when we are irresponsible. At the last game we heard a boy say, “Hey look! If you buy an orange juice you can hit the button multiple times and two will come out!” This caused a lot of commotion as the students, and officers, went to go buy some orange juice. Next thing you know we were all carrying two bottles of orange juice in our hands unsure what to do with it all. Since we didn’t need a never-ending supply of orange juice, many students lucked out in receiving a free orange juice from the charitable officers.

What I’m most excited to tell you about is our lovely prank, which I must say, was very clever. We thought of a plan at the beginning of the game, and all we had to do was wait for an opportunity to execute it. You are probably wondering what the plan was, so now, I will tell you. Our plan was to start counting down “5..4..3..2..1” like the usual routine at any other game, but this time we would start counting down when there were still 20 seconds left. Obviously, we would only do this if the opposing team had the ball.

The game continued, and as the end of the fourth quarter drew closer, we became even more excited. The timer was at 25 seconds when the other team got the ball, and dribbled it to their side of the court. At 20 seconds we started counting down, and the player on the other team believed us! She threw the ball from the half-court line resulting in a complete air ball. After that the crowd laughed, our team laughed, and the other team laughed as well. It seemed as if everyone was laughing except for the player who was shooting the ball. It was a great way to end the game, and also another great memory for us officers to remember forever.
