Hulu Hoopsters Take On the Harlem Ambassadors

Hulu

The Henderson County Hula Hoopsters may not have scored as many points as the Harlem Ambassadors Sunday night at Cardinal Gym, but everyone was a winner thanks to the great show and the money raised for the United Way.

I know that might sound a bit cheesy … but it is true. The folks in attendance had a great time and so did those on the local all-star team. The Ambassadors put on a wonderful show and are the type of role models that we love to have coming into Henderson County.

Thanks to everyone who participated, and a special thanks to Tony Kalawe who was the coach of the local squad.
