I'm straying from high school sports coverage for a moment here, but I think you'll enjoy it.
Halftime shows at high school basketball games rarely pull me away from adding up first-half scoring totals and getting a head-start on writing my game story. But if you've been to a high school basketball game in Tacoma in the last few years, you've probably seen the Young Ambassadors perform at halftime. These kids are fantastic. They ride unicycles and perform gymnastics and tumbling routines. They always get a standing ovation and they deserve it.
I'd love to see them get a chance to perform during a semifinal at the basketball state tournament at the Tacoma Dome. Maybe right after the Ferris sack dance, if the Saxons can find a way to return to state?
I shot this video of the Young Ambassadors at the Bellarmine Prep-Foss basketball game on Friday. Watch and see for yourself.
