@SenatorAndyKim@atrupar How much will Trump’s $20 Billion request for war and increasing the military budget to $1.5 Trillion/year cost each American family?
Tyson Dobbins had a memorable Senior Night in his last appearance on his home floor at Williamson Gym at Desert Christian High School as he set a new school record by scoring 50 points as Desert Christian prevailed over St. Augustine 67-31 in 2A South Region action. He also added 12 rebounds, 3 assists, 2 steals, and 1 block. In doing so, he became only the 11th player in Arizona (AIA) boys high school basketball history and the 3rd Tucson high school player ever to go over 2500 career points. His total is now 2534 points with one regular season game to go. He was able to reach this remarkable achievement even after undergoing ACL reconstruction surgery last April and being absent from competition for eight months prior to his Senior Season.
