Small towns supporting high school sports

[Salmonchaser]

Our highschool will have a graduating class of about 25 kids. Doesn’t matter if it’s girls volleyball or boys football, stands are full. Seems to be increasingly rare to find small schools like this. Highly recommended dropping by and watching a game if you’re hunting in an area that has small schools. You won’t be the only one wearing camo or having a rifle in the truck. Good luck Cardinals.

You guys wanna Montana connection? The Montana State Bobcats kicker is from Alexandria.

A local restaurant is serving our team and families supper tomorrow night!

I had my annual physical today. One of the questions was have you felt anxious or nervous in the last week? Heck yes!

My boys are on the high school football team and we are headed to state tomorrow after a thrilling 99 yard touchdown pass beat the #1 team in the state in Section playoffs late in the 4th quarter. On their way back, the police gave them an escort to the high school. Both police and fire trucks will escort them tomorrow morning to the freeway as well. A local restaurant is donating breakfast to 80 kids plus coaches. Everywhere you go, people are talking about it and wearing Alexandria Cardinal gear. The fever is high. We are a town of 15,000 people. The stands are always packed. We had to ask for more visitor section bleachers at the last game in Moorhead.

When many are people are talking doom and gloom, it sure is a nice change.

One down side? Opening day of our 9 day deer season is tomorrow. I love hunting as much as anyone, but state football is a once in a lifetime thing. I will hunt for 1 hour and 15 minutes in the morning. Hopefully I will text my brother a picture of a buck and tell him he is on guttin' and gillin' duty.

BOY WAIT TIL YOU GET TO HEAR THE STORY OF THE GAME WINNING DRIVE AT DEER CAMP!
