| CANYON
SPRINGS HIGH SCHOOL - November 15, 2003 |
By
Charli Harshbarger
I would like to start of by sending a
wholehearted Hollywood Knights welcome to Sharif
Atkins and Tyler Hoechlin! Tonight we gathered to
bring forth money for the Canyon Springs Business
Academy. The Knights kicked butt yet again with a
two-point lead over the Canyon Springs Faculty,
with a final score of 78-76.
Jillian performed a breath-taking rendition of
the National Anthem. Who knew such a powerful
voice can come out of such a tiny person? Either
way, she was amazing! Both faculty and Knights
made many crowd pleasing baskets. The
Knight’s put up a fight, that’s for
sure, but pulled ahead in the end. Cylk and Jack
were on FIRE getting points in for the HK team.
During the half time, new solo artist Angel
(formerly of No Secrets) blew up the gym and had
a great time doing it. Angel said, "I love
coming out and performing!" And we love you
coming out to perform. Also, during half time,
Jillian continued the show and ended with a bang.
Go Knights!
Question on the mind: Why
did you join the HK team?
Cylk Cozart: Because when I was
in high school I didn’t have anyone to look
up to and now as a celebrity I look at it as that
could’ve been me and what if what if I was
in high school and celebrities came to my school
and I got to talk to them and touch them and ask
questions, what that would do for my confidence.
I don't just do it with the HK; I do it all over
the world.
Kiko Ellsworth: Cause I
can’t play basketball. I’m usually a
chicken chaser. I thought this would be better
than chasing chickens tonight. Nah, I’m
playing. It’s fun; it’s a great cause.
I used to teach, also I work great with kids.
Arlen Escarpeta: Well, it’s
a good charity. For one I love basketball,
second, its cool to meet fans, fan friendly
atmosphere. Take pictures, sign autographs, give
out hugs, and give back to schools. It’s
nice to raise money for the schools. I am hoping
to go back to my school and do something for them
too.
Sharif Atkins: Well, one of the
team members Arlen [Escarpeta], of American
Dreams. I saw him at some Hollywood functions and
made mention of it and said for me to come out
and try it and that’s what I did.
Tyler Hoechlin: Actually,
through Josh. We were both at a Nickelodeon
thing, and he said hey we have this little league
where we play on weekends and I said sign me up. |
