Gen James W. Hopp, Ogden Air Logistics Center commander, vowed revenge last year after a close loss at the hands of the infamous Outlaw wheelchair team, fast-pace- 6, 51-4- liitSiiil&x t 9. "We finally got them," General Hopp said. "But the best part is that we raised money and food for those in need, and everyone had a good time. Helping those who need it, especially during the holiday season, is what the game is all about. Everyone wins." The event brought in $40 and more than $150 worth of food for the Hill AFB Thrift Shop holiday basket program, according to 1st Lt. Christine 1' )v;f Manufacturing. "It was definitely a success. We raised more money and food than last year," the lieutenant said. "But I don't think the colonels who played could move very well the next day. When Colonel (Charles) Perez came into work the next day, he was moving pretty slow." The Starbirds led throughout most of the game with the help of some charitable Outlaw passing. The referee even tossed in a bucket for the 'Birds. However, the Outlaws, seeing defeat coming, poured on the heat in the fourth quarter and pulled within a basket before time ran out. Col. Dick Trainor led the Starbirds' scoring with 12 points, while Col. Ron-da- l Smith was close behind with 9 points. Scott Parkin led the Outlaws with 14 points, while Dan Duncan was next with eight points. SdfrfiC (- - v . J fir- - U.S. Air Force Photo by Sgt. Jay Joersz Wheelin good time Above, Col.
