William Byrd basketball star Marvey’o Otey (above right)
took on Harlem Globetrotter Anthony “Buckets” Blakes
in a friendly contest at the Byrd gym in February. Blakes
(above left) wowed the crowd by duplicating Otey’s incredible feat from earlier this season by converting a behindthe-back 3-pointer. Otey more than saved face when he
took the game of H-O-R-S-E, however.
