In More Small Town News

When small things happen in a big town only a few people notice. Fortunately, and unfortunately, when small things happen in a small town then everyone notices. But when something big happens in a little place then it seems the entire world is fixated and focused. Right now, our small high school, with its small studentbody, and its unassuming boys basketball team is the talk of the town and rightfully so. Today at 3:50 the boys play for the state title. I went back in the history books to see when the last time was that South Fremont won a basketball title and I got bored looking for it. Must have been awhile.

The best part is how there is so much support for them. Our little food joint, Big J's, has pulled in family members, retired workers, and possibly people off the streets (j/k) to fill working spots so every high school employee could go to Boise for the games. It is broadcast live on the Internet and I don't know of a single household who hasn't been watching or at least getting frequent updates from someone watching. The band was sent over and has played their hearts out. Most of the faculty from the schools was gone because those boys are OUR boys. They all need to be there to cheer and jeer. Unifying a community takes a lot of people and that is what is happening.

So ... GO COUGARS!!!!!
