Abby and Steve do the Gus Macker.

The "Gus Macker" is a 3-on-3 travelling basketball tourney that stops every year in Zanesville. 15,000 people annually mob the streets. For instance, here's a look at the 130 year old steps of St. Thomas Church, jammed with spectators, as they have never been before.         


Abby breaks free for a lay-up.         


Here, she chases down a loose ball.         


Abby gets another basket!         


Waiting for a rebound.         


Decisions, decisions!         


The action can get intense.         


Didn't Michael Jordan also stick his tongue out like this?         


Calling for the ball.         


The game ends.         


Meanwhile, two blocks away and an hour later Big Brother Steve also gets free.         


Not as many people watched the older players.         


Steve and his high-flying act.         


Two hours later Abby had another game and in this one the defense was a lot tougher.         


A lot tougher.         


Flower Power.         


All sorts of people came out.         


On the second day Steve's team lost 15-14.         But he scored 9 and a good time was had by all!
