Meet Chris and Sam Ausbon and friend JT Spearman from Tupelo, Miss. Sam and JT, both 12 years old, were granted special exemption from their teachers to attend the SEC Tournament with Sam’s dad in Hoover, Ala. instead of taking final exams.
Chris grew up in Oxford, now lives in Tupelo, and has always been a Rebel fan. Both boys currently play youth sports in the Tupelo area.
Hotty Toddy, Chris, Sam and JT!
