This has been a very busy week with volleyball officiating and going to Atlanta Tuesday night to see the Raptors play the Hawks. This picture is from Monday night at Taco Bell with Jason, Carson, Katherine, Diana and Luamie. After my three volleyball games tonight, I will have officiated 10 games this week in 3 nights.
Toronto won 100-88 vs. the Atlanta Hawks. We paid $10 and sat at the very front of the 200 level for good seats, there was no zoom used in this picture.
With 1 minute 32 seconds left in the 4th quarter and the Raptors leading by 11 points, Al Horford of the Hawks slammed Raptors starting point guard T.J. Ford into the floor on his back on a lay-up attempt. Ford's head bounced off the floor and he never moved as he was taken off the court on a stretcher after at least 10-15 minutes. Ford has missed an entire season because of a spinal injury and actually has 2 fused vertebrae in his neck. It was assessed a Flagrant 2 foul and Horford was ejected, fined, and suspended for a few games.
Chris Bosh shoots a jump shot on the right wing in the 2nd half Tuesday night.
At the end of the game after the injury, the entire Raptors team gathered in a huddle and prayed for Ford, and here they are looking to the end of the court where T.J. was laying. The win improved the Raptors record to 12-10. They also won Wednesday night back in Toronto vs. the visiting Dallas Mavericks, 92-76, for their 3rd straight win in a row. Ford arrived in Toronto late Wednesday afternoon and x-rays came back negative. Today was the last day of regular school at Hardy. We have meetings tomorrow for Professional Development before Intercession next Monday- Wednesday when I will be teaching soccer and hockey to grades K-2 with the Special Ed. teacher Mr. Scott. So the Christmas Break is almost here!!

So Ryan, did the player end up being able to move and stuff? That's horrible. Probably most people would quit playing if they had fused vertebra. Sounds like you got to have a great time watching the game though.
Have a good time at Carrie's this weekend!
