Live Oak FFA Donkey Basketball Tradition Returns Submitted by Shelby Foster On March 8 our FFA chapter brought back Donkey Basketball, an event we haven’t hosted in over twenty years. This is an event that not only brought our chapter, but our entire community together. For this event we invited our middle, elementary, and high school staff members to join us in some friendly competition. This event was hosted in our high school gym with a little more than 250 friends and family members in attendance. In this game students and staff tried playing basketball while riding a donkey. This super fun event brought laughter and good times that we will cherish, with our own high school staff placing first! FFA students are confident they will gain victory next year and are looking forward bring back our beloved tradition. Merced
