While our group was smaller than we wanted, spouting off every once in awhile really paid off this year. At half-time, all WCHS alumni were asked to stand and be recognized. Very nice for us older folks to get a bit of recognition. Ricky and Joyce drove in from Harrisonville - they were our farthest away attendees for 2008.
Chrisman whooped up on Oak Park in a very thrilling boy's game. The girl's game had us in the lead until an Oak Park girl simply ran down Chrisman's center. The blow took our center out of game for quite a spell and when she came back in she was limping pretty badly. On that collision, no foul was called even though the Oak Park girl appeared to have meant harm. Chrisman girls played hard and were still in it until on a simple touch foul the ref called a deliberate foul and that was an instant 4 point spread the Chrisman girls could not recover from. Some things never change - especially officiating. The girls game was pretty pathetic in that respect. And, if two big games were not enough - it was Senior night and Court warming too.
You missed a fun night skipping this event. Maybe see you next year at Court Warming?
About 10 folks gathered at the VFW on 24 to eat before the game. Now that was some fine vittles and of course we had our own table to boot. Only problem, service was so slow that we were rushed to get to the game. But, on the up side we were not hungry.
