It's a Saturday night in downtown Sells. It's rather cold for early November,
but a couple of kids are shooting baskets on the outdoor courts at the rec center.
Only a handful of customers are in the Bashas' supermarket. Most everybody else is
at Baboquivari High School, outside of town. (And when I say outside of town, I mean
way outside of town. You would think that a small town would have a high school that's
actually in the town. All I can say is that whoever made this real estate deal is
a lock for the Scammers' Hall of Fame.)
Inside the gym at Babo (as it is affectionately known) are hundreds and hundreds of members
of the Tohono O'odham Nation. They have come to watch the first-ever home game of the
Tohono O'odham Community College men's basketball team. And there on the court,
running the show for the TOCC Jegos, is none other than Sohaib Fellah.

An all-new college campus is going up on state Route 86, out by Kitt Peak, but for now,
the team must practice in the Babo High gym before the high school day starts.
That means that the coaches and players who live in Tucson have to gather on West Ajo Way
a couple of hours before sunrise and catch a shuttle to Sells for 6:30 a.m. practice.
