HIGH SCHOOL - March 20, 2004 |

We won! The
Knights are undefeatable! With a final score of
96-71 the Knights cant be stopped. The game
began with the faculty following one of its
members playing the bagpipes. NXL blew the
audience away with the acapella national anthem.
For being the first game NXL has attended,
Im sure that we will see more of them
they are incredible.
Speaking of first times, Id like to take a
second to make a personal note. Tonight was the
first night my mom had ever been to a Hollywood
Knights game. I have been a fan for over four
years and this is the first Knights experience
she has had. On the way home she was glowing from
meeting so many of her favorite daytime stars.
This just proves that even parents can have a
good time at a game.
Now onto
the plays - Tyler Hoechlin (7th Heaven) scored
for the first time this season. GO TYLER! Tyler
wasnt the only one making amazing plays.
Cylk Cozart (White Men Cant Jump) was on
fire coming from nowhere and pulling the Knights
ahead. Kyle Brandt (Days of our Lives, Real World
Chicago) came out of nowhere to help with an
assist. The most amazing point was scored right
as the buzzer went off for half time when one of
the faculty players hit a three-pointer. During
the announcing of the players, Arlen Escarpeta
(American Dreams) had an embarrassing surprise.
Five of his fans had larger poster size photos of
him as a child. D-Smoove (3rd Storee)
unfortunately got elbowed in the mouth and had
injured his lip. Luckily he will be OK. Dion
Basco (City Guys) showed up after halftime to
help the Knights. Its better late then
never.
Not only did we have Tyler, Cylk, Kyle, Arlen and
Dion but we cant forget our other amazing
players as well. Coming out to play included Kiko
Ellsworth (Port Charles), JSon (3rd
Storee), Tha Goodfellas (Romeo and Dejai
Power 106), and Anthony Harrell (Brutha). Coming
to support the Knights was Christine DiCarlo
(General Hospital) and Pablo Santos (Greetings
from Tucson). Brutha rocked the house yet again.
Every time you see Brutha perform its
always a different experience. They performed a
new song and rocked some new and incredible dance
numbers. One of the members of Brutha ran into
the stands shaking hands and rocking the crowd
during their performance. Brutha will be
performing with Brian McKnight in April for the
Motown special. NXL performed a live acapella
song and then sang their single
Bounce, giving some of the fans a
personal one-on-one performance.
As with every Hollywood Knights game,
theres never a moment to be missed. |
