“Nothing ever happens in Kingman!” This is a common
complaint of the students around school. Wichita seems
to be the only place around here to find entertainment.
Well, not anymore. A visit on Wednesday, September
28th, from the nationally-acclaimed Harlem Rockets
basketball team proved that Kingman can host some
exciting venues as well. We can thank the Lions Club of
Kingman for bringing the Rockets to good ole’ K-Town.

First, a few facts about the Rockets: The Rockets have
played in over 1700 games since the team was created in
1993. They are undefeated in all of those games. The
Rockets have traveled all over the country, from Boston
to Los Angeles.
As for the game itself, a huge crowd was on-hand,
expecting an exciting and fun night. The Rockets didn’t
disappoint. Our gym has never seen as many rim-rocking
dunks and amazing ball-handling tricks as there were
that night.

The Rockets also delivered
in the area of comedy. There were several hilarious
jokes and tricks which definitely added to the fun
atmosphere.
Maybe now Kingman will become the hub for entertainment
in South Central Kansas. OK, maybe not. But for one
night, this little rural town had a taste a of big-city
show. And what a show it was. |
