Tip-Off Dinner Moves Outdoors



The Blue Jay Basketball program annually begins the season with a "Tip-Off" dinner and this year it took place in a slightly different format. Steve, Traci and Denton Koon hosted a bonfire and cookout Sunday evening and it was enjoyed by all the players and staff.
Kyle Rutliff, a Junior guard, stated, "The dinner was a perfect way to get the season going. Hanging around the fire was a great bonding experience and it gave us time to hangout outside of the basketball court."
Malcolm Mustin, a Junior forward, said, "It was a fun time. It helps our team chemistry and team bonding. There was a lot of fun interaction between the guys around the fire and then playing games once we moved inside."
The Jays get the season started Tuesday with a Sophomore game at Rockhurst. The Varsity Jays travel to Springfield on Thursday to play in the Kickapoo Classic over the weekend. Check the blog/twitter for updates.
