yep, as a neutral third party, and with it being at our place, that was one hell of a game. Not a seat left in the house either. Good way to break in our new gym back then. Gottta love that Shrake guy's quotes.

He was so much more mature back then than he is now
Oh yeah, when I said I know he posted on here and I know what his moniker is, I have to proclaim that he is not IHSA clinician so please stop asking! ![]()

I have heard through the grapevine that Shrake is not the IHSAClinician.

The coverage of the Decatur Herald back in the 70's and early 80's was fantastic. I loved reading Bob Fallstrom's columns. All the articles had a personal touch to them vs the box scores that are now put in the paper.

I agree. There also was a rather large man, in a wheelchair, that wrote for the Paris paper. We played them my senior year and he wrote an article on the game that I still go back and read from time to time. Great use of english language and eloquent diction. I don't want to butcher his name as I am sure he is long gone now, but I think it was Bud Wittick or something close to that. He had that same personal touch.
