There have been thousands of basketball games played in the Absarokee High School gym before.
But none quite like what went down last Thursday.
A squad of teachers — named “The Apples” — did battle with a squad of local law enforcement officers, named “The Donuts.” What ensued was nothing short of side-splitting fun and a game that in the end, was one by the Donuts — 52 to 49 — or somewhere in that vicinity.
With 2:29 left to go in the game, the Apples were down by more than 20 points. That’s when regular Columbus Cougar announcer Blake Haug instituted a new rule.
