  I know, I know, I'm techincally gone, and I'm technically busy, and I'm technically supposed to update the last entry. But I don't feel like it. Remember urlLink this? We are state champions. That's right, folks, for the first time since 1941 . What an absolutely amazing way to close out not only the senior's amazing careers, but an amazing way to end a 30+ year reign of the coach, Mr. Jim Donohugh. Never before have I seen the man cry, but today, today it all changed. Everybody was crying. My uncles, my aunts, my friends, my classmates, my teachers. It was one of the most... bonding? Communal? events of my entire life. It started the way most games start, with the national anthem.
The song was sung by two girls from the local high school (Carroll), but the part that made me almost cry was that everybody else joined in . That's right, everybody was singing along, both teams, the players, everybody. And it sounded amazing. Matt pitched. A shutout. Sean closed. Matt's shutout. 6-0. Devils win. You must understand that Jim D. is more than a coach, he's like the President.
He has two daughters (oddly enough...) and a son (but that doesn't count ;)). His wife is a social icon, etc., etc. Today at the game one of his daughter's brought in a towel, and he threw it [throwing in the towel]. Amazingly, refreshingly sad. It's over and won. It's over and done. And golly, it feels frkn fine. Now to wait another 60 or so years...
