Brad Thompson, creator of the circular pest, fined Bob Bush and Dan Power for failing to ask.
Then, the grudge match resumed by Brad returning the Tuit to its previous holder, Terry Brigman.
Stay tuned for the escalating feud!
PROGRAM:
Hutchinson Community College mens basketball coach Chad Wintze was our special guest. Practices for the team commenced October 1. Six players from last years team are on the 17-man roster. The Blue Dragons are the defending league champions with a prior record of 29-4. Players from that team have moved on to basketball programs at Oklahoma State, Sterling, Concordia, MN and even pro ball in Europe.
Alas, the work of a community college coach begins anew with each season. Coach Winze will start from scratch and select his starters based upon their performance in practice. From the heights and weights displayed on the roster, HCC will have both size and speed for the upcoming campaign. Take the opportunity this winter to support our college team and have an entertaining evening.
