Three teams recently competed in a round of donkey basketball: The Roadrunners (SHS Students), Team Ridonkulous (SHS Alumni/Staff), and Team DunkinDonuts (Sheriff’s Office). Ultimately five DPSO donkey handlers took home two wins for the night, which included a Dance Off tie breaker between Stanley SRO Lane Burns and the Lower Elementary SHS kiddos from the crowd. Everyone 12 and under grabbed a chance at riding the donkeys between games, and had a blast.

Cpl. K9 Handler Kelby Pearah, K9 Handler Hunter Martinez, NDUE SRO Bri Smith, Special Services Dy. Dylan Coburn, and Corrections Dy. Makeal Williams volunteered their time to come out and entertain DeSoto Residents for a great cause.

Other riders in the game were: Stanley School Board Rep. Coday Johnston, Marshall Raybon, Rachel Marr, Cole Powdrill, Tyler Collier, Taylor Ramsey, Kenzie Simpson, Koby Groves, Nolan Loftin, and Jade Jones.
