Oct 21 2037: Prayer for MCLA - by Playero71 on March 15th, 2024

The winter night hung over the Blues fans who, stunned, saw their team being beaten by the visit from the east coast. Yes, that unknown minor team of which the Royal Hardwood OCBB Library has almost no record worth including in its pages, except for the eccentricities to which its coaches accustom us.

Anyway... the situation did not look good at all, the poets were loaded with fouls and the scoreboard indicated a disadvantage of 17 points at halftime. "Kitty soup again", more than one dreamer lamented in the stands... but they did not count on the fiery harangue of Mel Brooks, the hilarious coach with 24 years on the team who today holds the reins with a firm hand and warm heart: "Go out on the field and win glory or go home, you dogs!!!"

With 2 minutes left in the game the ruckus band played their fight song as the home side snatched the match!

Oct 09 2035: Well, how did i get here? - by Playero71 on November 20th, 2023

...
And you may find yourself behind the wheel of a large automobile
And you may find yourself in a beautiful house, with a beautiful wife
And you may ask yourself, "Well, how did I get here?"

When Micheal "Mel" Brooks signed his first season at the helm of the Blues, not even his grandmother had high expectations... an open secret in Sunnyside, WA.
However, the young coach wasn´t a joke. He narrowly missed the championship and took the team to territories never before explored: III.3, where the beasts play.
A great performance by Whitman College, without big stars, but playing basketball get us here. Now you know.

We will try to repeat it.

Dec 14 2034: They had got all of the the momentum... could WC recover? - by Playero71 on October 14th, 2023

Yes, indeed. Again, against the IA and HOCBB Big Data, after loosing by 19 points at first half whipped by Hartwick Hawks, Whitman´s boys jumped in the court ready to give tehir best and get that numbers fixed.
Whit a superb Ron "Cola" Bonner, the Blues win the game outscoring the newyorkers 63 to 34 in the second half and gets a valuable visitor victory, recovering 2nd spot.
Don´t panic Grinnell, we are coming.

Dec 07 2034: "The alumni emphatically singed their fight song"... - by Playero71 on October 12th, 2023

...but finally had to kept their instruments in their back "pockets", since unleashing old Walt fury with just 6 minutes played could be a very, VERY, wrong idea.
And that's what happened when WC visited the Spartans at Wolf Gymnasium, extending our victorious march to 5-0 on the season, breathing down the necks of some not-so-young Pioneers who we'll teach a few things about life and sports on next January 4th. Stay tuned.
