To keep seated during breath- , taking plays when the adults sitting Blue Blazers win behind you kept yelling, “Sit down!” ’ . To apologize for the coke you State championship spilled all over the girl sitting in front of you. To be a sophomore and find the only place left to sit is in the senior section.

Then after the final game with St. Joe, Elkhart was proclaimed champion. It was cold. It was snowing, but everyone was happy.
