OXFORD, Miss. - Last week, members of the Ole Miss men's basketball team took time out of their busy schedules preparing for the 2010-11 season to visit with kids from the local Boys and Girls Club.
The Rebel players helped the children build scarecrows for their garden, and they also showed them a few moves in some friendly games on the basketball court.
"It was a nice experience to go back and be involved in the community and spent time with the little kids," said sophomore Reginald Buckner. "They look up to us as role models, and they were really excited because we are basketball players and they've seen us on TV."
This is part of an ongoing relationship between the basketball team and the Boys and Girls Club of Oxford. Last December, team members were involved in giving gifts to several children from the community.
