David Archuleta Takes Over Delaware



This past Saturday David showed off his basketball skills for fans at Duffy's Hope 1st annual Hollywood Invades the Beach Charity Basketball Game in Lewes, Delaware. We were there to cover it all for you guys. David was joined on the court by celebs such as actor Wesley Jonathan, American Idol contestant Jimmie Allen, and even his mom Lupe!


The day started out with a VIP meet and greet featuring all the celebs seated at a table in the auditorium outside of the gym. David sat at the end graciously signing and taking pictures with all who came, including the state trooper patrolling the room. After this, they all took to the floor for the National Anthem and some warm up drills. David came out all smiles trying his best in his number 7 jersey. While he might have missed all of his shots, he definitely showed A++ for effort. He seemed apprehensive when approached about actually playing in the game. After some coaxing from his mom and BET star Alesha Renee, David took his spot in the lineup.


In between playing on the court, David signed autographs for the fans on the bleachers and took photographs for those who came up and asked. David's mom gave him the play by plays throughout the game as they watched from the sideline. Bobbing along to the music the DJ was playing, David cheered on his teammates. The game was a close one with the celebs winning 79 to 78 against the locals.


After the game, we caught up with David. He had a lot of fun even though he claims he's "really bad at basketball." David's very excited to be working with the new band and looks forward to getting out there and seeing the fans. All you Archuleta fans get excited, David tells us more appearances are to come. David's a sweetheart and definitely a favorite here at Pop City Life. It's always great catching up with him. He's very appreciative for the continued support from all the fans.
