Trooper Pokorny Fund Raiser
The PA State Police hosted a fundraiser for the family of slain trooper Joe Pokorny last weekend. They had many events, but my mom and dad, along with Bill and I, attended the Troopers vs. Pittsburgh Steelers basketball game.
The Steelers that played in the game were James Harrison, Lee Mays, Ricardo Colclough, and ex-Steelers Louis Lipps and Ed Nelson. We were all a little non-plussed about the lineup until Ben Roethlisberger ran out and joined the team right before The Star-Spangled Banner was sung.
The game was fun, if not a tad embarassing for the Troopers. It’s probably safe to say that everyone on the Steelers side of the ball had picked up a basketball at one point in their life. At one point, Big Ben hit six three-pointers in a row. It was amazing.
We had a good time at the game and it was nice to see the Troopers and the Steelers raising money for the Pokorny family.
Final score– Troopers: 30 Steelers: 119
Nothing playing at time of post.
