I like the way Officer Baldwin speaks. He/she wants an NBA-style contest. The hype has begun.
The kind of squad that shows up at midnight always brings their “A” game. They’re good jumpers.
When you look up, don’t be surprised if all you see is the bottom of their sneakers!
A summer program for youth basketball is announced by the Bridgeport Police Department. Cooperating athletic centers and coaching staff will likely have their rosters and schedule full for ‘A Game’ players and those who only think they have an ‘A Game’. Fun for players and for viewers as well. This is a good sign of summer from Police Department leadership. Relationship building, reasons to stay in school, and just plain something to do in a long hot summertime. Memories of years past, for many also. Thank you Bridgeport Police Department.
Now which group of adults can lead a parade for water safety and swimming classes for all Bridgeport youth? Where does a youngster go when they graduate from the 15 splashpads for skills and training? Do City lifeguards reside in the City or do they come, of necessity from the suburbs? Is this an example of systemic racism? What do you calll it? TIME WILL TELL.
