Massive crowds decked out in orange took over streets in Kansas City before the World Cup match between Tunisia and The Netherlands.
Led by an orange double-decker bus, thousands of fans marched downtown for the March to the Match – a Dutch tradition before international games.
The pregame broadcast showed four watch parties across the country.
Kansas City's was the best by a COUNTRY MILE.
Built different in America's heartland 🇺🇸
🏀🎉 MAKING HOOPS HISTORY! 🎉🏀
Last night in Brooklyn, New York, former Liberty High School Blue Jay standout Bennett Stirtz was selected in the first round (#16 overall) of the NBA Draft by the Memphis Grizzlies, then immediately traded to the Oklahoma City Thunder.
With this selection, Bennett becomes the first Liberty Public Schools alumnus to be chosen in the first round of the NBA Draft.
It's truly a family affair for the Stirtz family and Liberty Public Schools. Bennett's dad, Roger, was a longtime LPS teacher and hall of fame coach before retiring a few years ago, and his mom, Renee, currently is an All-American teacher at Ridgeview Elementary.
All of us at Liberty Public Schools congratulate Bennett on this incredible achievement and look forward to cheering him on at basketball's highest level. 💙🏀 #LPSLeads
