Valley Falls had victory in sight with a five-point lead with less than a minute to play in overtime. But the Indians mounted a rally and stole a 57-55 overtime win. If anything, the good thing about it was that we got a taste of the atmosphere. If that's all we got out of it, that's great. But the way it did end, it left these guys, coaches included, pretty hungry.
Football is kind of the same way.
We had a good team in football, but didn't make the playoffs. I think it's been building that this school has never won a state championship and that's been a goal we've talked about. Talk is one thing. Fortunately for Gish, he's still got a team capable of fulfilling that goal. In all, Valley Falls returns about 75 percent of its scoring from a year ago.
