Tiger baseball dinner big hit

All Shannon Dobson wanted was the Wildlife
Festival “to be a little bigger and better.”

Broken Arrow High School’s baseball coach
got that – and then some – last Friday night.

This sixth edition, a major fundraiser
sponsored by the BAHS Baseball Booster
Club, surpassed expectations.

An estimated record $15,000 was raised in
the three-hour dinner-auction at the BAHS
cafeteria, Dobson said.

Those proceeds will pay “for most” of the
Tigers’ spring break trip to Arizona in March,
Dobson said.

Nearly 600 tickets, which cost $10 each,
were sold with the auction raking in the
remainder.

Dobson got his first hint just a half hour into the festivities when he was told the high school dining
area was close to its 600 capacity limit.

The dinner menu included duck-k-bobs, fish and venison.

“There was plenty of food and it was good eating,” Dobson said. “We were sending leftovers
home with people.”

Among auction items were an autographed jersey from Texas Rangers’ slugger Josh Hamilton
and an autographed picture of Rangers’ third baseman Michael Young.

One highlight was a duck retrieving exhibition by Avery and Ted, a pair of Labrador retrievers
brought by Danny Hass and Ryder Keller.

Three former Tigers, Jackson Williams, Matt Klimas and Nick Pettus, were recognized along with
the 2006 BAHS team.

Williams and Klimas are catchers in the San Francisco organization and Pettus is pitching in the
Houston farm system.

Mark Brewer, a BAHS graduate and son of the late Jim Brewer, attended along with Luke Scott of
the Baltimore Orioles.

Brewer is the pitching coach for the Binghamton (N.Y.) Mets, the New York Met’s Double-A team.
Scott is a designated hitter-outfielder for the Orioles.

“It was a great night but it took a lot of work from a lot of people,” Dobson said. “This was a great
example of teamwork. Everybody, from parents to players, had their roles and everybody did their
jobs.”

Dobson singled out the efforts of Liz Biggs, Rochelle Buss, Pam Evans and Melinda Rolland.
