Fans Slide To Stateg Hornets Win Again! Basketball fans who went to bed March 13 dreaming of an exciting trip to Columbia to watch the State finals were very unhappy to awake in the early morning hours of March 14 and find a three-inch snow covering a sheet of ice. But the dreadful weather kept only a few fans home. Peering fearfully through falling snow in the pre-dawn hours, driving 30 miles an hour for miles while holding their breaths, the fans reached their destination in time to cheer the Hornets to an astonishing upset over the number-one seeded Glasgow, who was trying for a 64-ga me winning streak - a streak which would have set a new record. The score was 59-50. The jubilant team defeated Northeast Nodaway, another undefeated team, 55-44 on March 15, to earn the State Class A Championship for the second time in four years. It was a slow, deliberate game, rather anticlimactic after the excitement of beating Glasgow. We played the way we had to, Coach Carroll Cookson said. Upon arriving home, the triumphant Hornets were met by a train of approximately 250 cars who demonstrated the fans' pride by parading through the town, honking noisily.
