Talking Funny side note

One of the teams has the nickname "Ephs" (pronouned "eefs"). One of the other officials asked a player what an Eph is. The kid says "I don't know", shrugging his shoulders. So he asked the next player in the layup line. The kid says, "It's a kind of cow". Next kid agrees, "I think he's right. It's a cow". Next kid just didn't know.

So when we go to shake hands, the official asks the head coach what an Eph is. The coach told us that it's short for the school founder's first name, Ephraim. The team is named after the founder. But the players didn't even know what their name meant. I thought that was hysterical.
