Vivid memories of the games during high school. For the game during my senior year, I rode a donkey named Dynamite.

Lockport Jr high circa 92-93. My donkey wouldn't move an inch. Stubborn mf. He would let me on but that was it. Good times

My donkey wouldn't stop moving. I think that guy with the shock stick had something to do with it.

I was good on horses. I figured I would have it pretty easy and make some goals. Boy, was I wrong!.

Does anyone else remember this as a kid? Whatever happened to it? Was it a small town thing, was a fun time.


We had it at the school every year when I was going. The boys in the FFA were involved. It was a hoot.
I’m sure it went away for the same reasons lots of other things went away.
It became too much of a legal liability to the schools.

No youngin would ever understand what we would describe. Especially if we say we had fun watching or playing it.
