What we are talking about is the Mighty Mo organization, specifically basketball. There isn’t really a single person in charge; they all work together to make kids have fun and happy. The people that joined Mighty Mo joined because they love sports and love to see kids happy. You might want to know how many teams there are. There are 6 teams, and with all these teams 100 kids joined. These are not just people from South Holt. People from Mound City and other schools also come. Mighty Mo raised the money from fundraisers. They wanted to do Mighty Mo because they wanted young kids to learn about sports and give the kids an opportunity to play sports. They often practice when the gyms are open at South Holt. The adults that participated are John Plummer, Brent Schieb, and Sarah Schieb. Thank you for reading about Mighty Mo.
