Did you know?  One of the most iconic and fun facts about basketball is that the very first basketball hoop was a simple peach basket nailed to the gym balcony. Players would shoot the ball into the basket, but there was no hole at the bottom, so someone had to climb up to retrieve the ball each time a point was scored. It wasn’t until much later that open-bottom nets became the standard.


On this date in sports:
  • In 1918 Jack Dempsy KOs Carl Morris in 14 seconds
  • In 1967 Wilt Chamberlin scores 68 points
  • In 1972 the Miami Dolphins became the 1st undefeated NFL Team going 14-0
  • In 1973 OJ Simpson became the first running back to rush for 2,000 yards in a season
  • in 2019 Drew Brees broke Peyton Manning's record of 539 career touchdown passes. 

Today is National Chocolate-Covered Anything!!  Perfect reason to make S'mores tonight!
