The “special guest” at a pep rally at New Mission High School Tuesday had the kids sky high. To the delight of everyone, Celtics star forward Jayson Tatum came to help whip up the kids. He didn’t need to try that hard. There was so much excitement it took a bit to cool the kids down. It was a treat.
