We turned out in droves for March Madness games, screaming Moser! Moser! ; Osh! ; Collins! Collins! P.C. ' ; Juice! ; and Big Mack Attack! in honor of our starting five. Basketball fans crawled out of the woodwork and parents stood to see the games; their enthusiasm sparked our cries of Defense! Defense! During the regional final game against Naperville North, we per- fected our new Whoosh-Face! as the Wings sank 21 perfect free throws. From there we cheered the team on to victories over West Au- rora, Glenbard North, and Rockford Boylan as they earned their passage to the Elite-Eight and Assembly Hall. But we had known from the begin- ning — had shouted Where ' re we goin ' ? State! State! since Naper- ville Central. And finally we were there, surviving long bus rides and frantic searches for lodgings near Cham- paign, battling it out with the Quincy fans. Watching their disjointed attempts at Whoosh, we nudged each other as if to say — now the originators are here — Here ' s how it ' s done! As fans we gave our all, as a team they gave their all. And then there was the last chant — We are proud of you, say, we are proud of you! Sweet Sixteem
