Hail to our champions
I think most of us are familiar with the tale of David polishing off Goliath, and many of us, I'm sure, have enjoyed a film called "Hoosiers" in which a small Indiana high school basketball team reached the state's finals and somehow pulled off a miracle. Well, this is one of those rare stories wherein heart, determination and intellect won the day against impossible odds and made thousands of Napans proud of 10 of our children.
I am 10 years old and back at school
I know the odor of gun powder. In the Marines, on the firing range, out in the Pacific and at home in the field hunting, I know that sharp smell.
