Thank you to the Detroit Pistons!

On March 26th, 2011 the Detroit Pistons Organization invited the Fennville basketball team to a home game against the visiting Indiana Pacers.  The team, coaches and Leonard family were given the red carpet treatment.  Everyone was given a chance to buy anything in the Pistons team store at 50% off.  Then everyone was able to go sit courtside where the Pistons and Pacers were going through warm-ups.  The Blackhawks were then able to do a little shoot around of their own.  The players and coaches were then taken into the locker room for pictures and autographs.  Then the Piston organization had 2 suites set up for everyone, stocked with food and drinks.  The Piston announcer made mention of the Blackhawks being guests that night while the crowd gave a wonderful ovation.  Late in the second half everyone was greeted by surprise guests, ex-bad boy Pistons, John Sally and James “Buddah” Edwards.  They both signed autographs and posed for pictures.  The Piston organization, players, coaches and staff are a true, first class organization and will always be remembered by the Fennville players and Leonard family in that way.
