We have our own version in this state with Bellfountain HS. Now, that is a fun fact! Well-played. Do you have any inside knowledge about the 1937 run? 27 students. Only eight guys came out for the team, none over six feet tall. And they beat Franklin in the semis and Lincoln in the finals! Have you read Joe Blakely's book? Is it any good? |

Some great stories there. Bob Dethman is a very sad tale. Jack Yoshihara is a very sad tale. Everett Smith is a very sad tale. Frank Parker (Oregon State) saving Charlie Haynes' (Duke) life in the Arno Valley Campaign is quite the tale. Stan Czech's tale of giving Wallace Wade coffee, during the Battle of the Bulge, then getting captured, escaping, not getting shot for escaping and then getting reinterned deeper inside Germany. That story is bonkers. Gene Gray is a very sad tale. There are so many good stories that deserve to have their tale told in World War II. I lost two granduncles in World War II, one in Operation Torch and one in the Battle for the Atlantic. The damned British knew that the Germans had broken Naval Cipher 3 by August 1942 but did not change it until after my granduncle was dead. My grandfather also served in World War II in Hawai'i after Pearl Harbor. He had some tales. |

There was an article about them in the program from the AAA Oregon basketball tournament from sometime around 1976. I think the story was a condensed version of a newspaper article. I do remember reading the basketball tournament in those years was 12 teams in class A and 4 teams in class B, the little schools. But the B tournament was 1/4 of a combined tournament. So the bracket had the four B teams at the top then the 12 A teams. The B winner had a spot in the semifinals along with 3 A teams. Also may remember that the school had nine boys, the 8 players and then the student manager. Finally I think there was a set of twins that both topped out at AAA level minor league baseball. |

I don't see French Lick up there as a site. Just totally off topic, but when we went to the Loisville-Oregon State football game, I spotted a sign for Beaver Lick, Kentucky. I pulled off the freeway and searched every store in the area for a Beaver Lick t-shirt. None. My wife wouldn't have let me wear it anyway. |

You should have gone to Big Bone Lick State Park while you were in Kentucky. Maybe they have a t-shirt. That park is on "Beaver road", imagine that. |

"Dickshooter Ridge is a wilderness area that provides a habitat for sage grouse and bighorn sheep. It was once proposed to be used as an "enemy village" target for Air Force bombing exercises." What godforsaken patch of nothing must you be to get passed over as a bombing site for the Air Force? I guess Dickshooter ain't worth di.. Hey ohh! |
