Sayers will juggle at MSR Classic

Doug Sayers, one of the top jugglers in the world, will perform two shows at the Metro Sports Report Classic basketball event on Saturday, Nov. 30 at Kirkwood Community College.

Sayers, 25, has won numerous world titles and was named the Overall Champion at the World Juggling Federation Convention in 2010. He won the Individual World Championship title in 2009.

Sayers grew up in Cedar Rapids and graduated from Kennedy High School. He has performed locally on many occasions and is always a big hit at Cedar Rapids Kernels games.

Sayers has been a guest artist at workshops around the United States and has been a street performer in Chicago. He has his own business called WhatsupJuggling.

Sayers will perform at both sessions of the Metro Sports Report Classic. His first performance will come during halftime of the game between Jefferson and Prairie, which starts at 11 a.m. His second performance will come during halftime of the game between Kennedy and Xavier, which starts at 5 p.m.

"If you've ever seen Doug perform, you know he is a terrific entertainer who does amazing things during his act," Metro Sports Report president Jim Ecker said. "And if you've never seen Doug perform, get ready for a special show by a world-class artist who grew up right here in Cedar Rapids."

Tickets for the Metro Sports Report Classic cost $1 for students, $3 for senior citizens (55 & over) and $5 for the general public per session.

The MSR Classic will feature all eight Metro boys basketball teams in regulation 32-minute games as part of the Hall of Pride Challenge. The first session features Jefferson vs. Prairie at 11 a.m. and Linn-Mar vs. Marion in Game 2 at 1:15 p.m. The second session features Kennedy vs. Xavier at 5 p.m. and Washington vs. Cedar Valley Christian at 7:15 p.m.
