Sunnyslope Athlete Spends Day with Shaq

Todd Golden and Shaq    

Sunnyslope High School basketball player Todd Golden recently spent a day on the basketball court with Los Angeles Lakers center Shaquille O'Neal.

Golden was invited because of the behind-the-backboard shot he hit against Page High School in Sunnyslope's Class 4A championship victory at America West Arena.

Todd and Shaq spent time chatting and passing the ball. Todd was one of 10 players from across the nation invited to attend the Nestle Crunch Hotshot Camp at the Los Angeles Sports Club.

Five girls and five boys attended because of remarkable shots made during their high school seasons last year.

New Marquee for Sunnyslope

New Marquee

Sunnyslope High School is showing off its accomplishments on a new marquee with lighting and digital messages.

The beautiful new addition was made possible through the generous donations of the Viking Class of 2001 and the Viking Parents Club.

The marquee can announce messages continuously on a rolling' or a 'still' format. It is prominently displayed on Dunlap Avenue in front of the school.

Drive by 35 West Dunlap and take a look.
