And the most exciting part of all-the game was staring Duke’s senior Kyle Singler against his younger brother sophomore E.J Singler. And last but not least, these brothers are from Medford and I had the privilege of watching these boys play together! Needless to say, ever since Kyle went to Duke, I become a fan. Sorry Mike (my father-in-law!)
This game was the first chance for Kyle to play in his home state since leaving for Durham, N.C. Rumor has it, that Coach K promises his players that if they stay all four years, they’ll get a game in their home state.
As you can see...the Duck fans! Brad, Lynda and Mike
I did not wear a Duck shirt as I am more of a Duke basketball fan. Don't worry, I heard about it from all three of them. So we stopped at the Duck store on the way there and I picked up a Duck necklace. I kept saying that I was neutral to represent Medford :) That didn't fly with my father-in-law! BUT!! I did cheer only for the Ducks...and silently every time Kyle scored!
It was an exciting game to see in person as this is the first time the Singlers played against each other, and the first time they were on the same court in a real game since they led South Medford High School to the state championship in 2007. Kyle is #12, EJ is #25.
Mike and Lynda caught a shirt that was thrown into the stands.
The eventual outcome didn't much matter when the brothers hugged tightly after the game.
