Tony is the city ' s all time leading scorer. Though only 5 ' 9 his skills and ability made him an all-state player. Experience pays off tate Tournament. It ivas different to hear those luords. Our team, the Hor- net team, made it. We loere finally going to play with the big boys. The team was revved up: the Icids were revved up: the whole community was revved up. We were all going to State. The team, plus the com- munity that backed them up. Playing the game in the Super-Drum was an experience that neither team nor audience will forget. As soon as the game got underway, people were on the edge of their seats, cheering and encouraging the team to go on. to make two more points. The team, ho: and sweaty, tried their hardest on that court. They played the hardest game, mentally and physically, of their entire season. As the end of the game came closer and closer, the team, like the crowd, became more anxious to win. They played and played and played. The game went into over- time. The score was bouncing back and forth between teams. The score tied again, an- other overtime. Three more minutes. Just three more minutes and we would have it. That night was one that the team or the audience will never forget. We lost the game that night. The team and the crowd were in tears, but our boys played their hearts out and we ' re proud of them. They might not have won the State Championship, but they won our hearts and that is all that needs to be said. Heidi Hutcherson State Tournament by Heidi Hutcherson . . . 102
