The last time Rough Riders made this much history, they were charging up San Juan Hill. While Teddy's boys had a general idea of what they were getting into, the Roosevelt boys' basketball team didn't know until a day before last night's Oahu Interscholastic Association championship victory how special a win would be.
People tend to remember the first one.
It's a wonderful feeling to be part of the first one. A good portion of the 900 fans at the Blaisdell Arena watched the nets come down. Chung, in his 14th year as the Roosevelt coach, remained relatively low-key after the victory, even though it also had family implications. I'm elated for him. I stay away, he does it all by himself.
