Something special

Here's the shot good for Brian Goodwin's 1,999th and 2,000th career varsity points! This jumper made the score 16-8 in favor of the Jaguars vs. Browerville.

And...here's a very special treat for Jaguar fans: his first varsity points! (I almost forgot I had this) I had never seen any member of the Class of 2014 play basketball up until that night in Atwater-Cosmos-Grove City. I had seen many of those players in Youth Tackle football, 7th grade football and all sorts of summer baseball. Not one bit of basketball, though. When that "little freshmen" swiped the rebound and went coast-to-coast, I was definitely impressed as you can tell by my reaction. Little did I know what the players of that class would do from that point until now.

Did you know? Over one-fifth of the Class of 2014 are members of the B-B-E boys' basketball team. Yes, that's right, the class has just 41 members, and 9 are on the varsity roster for our state-tournament bound Jaguars. For all the accolades they're earning, it's important to note just how small the class is - as well as how closely-knit they are.

Have a great Monday!
