LET'S ALL GO TO LEXINGTON
We're going to cheer! We're going to cheer! You can bet your life we're going to cheer! Everyone that can cheer will have to be behind our team in the Lexington Holiday Tournament. The boys need some really loyal support from each and every one of us.
This holiday tournament is being held in Lexington, Illinois, December 27 through 30. Lexington may seem like quite a distance to travel for a basketball game, (it's 55 miles from Hartsburg) but don't you think our team is worth it? Of course they're worth it and we couldn't let them down for anything. So let's all follow our team to Lexington!
You may say, "Why are we entered in such a tough tourney? Will will really run up against some good teams there." That's the reason we're going-- competition. There are some real teams in that tournament. Lexington, the host, plays a very good brand of basketball. Then there are the other teams: Long Point, Heyworth, Toluca, Gridley, McLean, and Odell. We don't know very much about these teams, but some of them are larger schools and will probably offer rather stiff competition. Oh, yes, we must not forget that fighting bunch of boys from Hartsburg-Emden, and we have a reputation for being tough at tournament time.
Of course, Coach Finchum and the boys will be the ones who work out the plays, practice every day, and actually "show their stuff" out on the basketball floor. However, the fans have something to do to help the Stags' cause and we've got to let the boys know that we are behind them all the way. So come on everybody, get behind our team. Cheer them on to victory!
Merry Christmas
