The Real Orange

Last Friday, the Colts (orange and gray) took on longtime rivals Theodore Roosevelt High School (orange and blue) to see, according to Dr. Maurice Butler, who is the "real orange". The players were pretty hype before the game preparing to play before a packed crowd at the Frank Williams Gymnasium on the campus of Coolidge High. The contest was really close all the way until the end when Darin Drakeford (#1 in the blue and orange, below) caught an alley-oop at a critical moment and the Roosevelt fans went nuts. And so went the momentum of the game.

The Coolidge players didn't shoot very well and took way too many three pointers. The coaches knew exactly why they'd lost.

1-1 in league play.
