I forgot to mention my high school, Heelan Catholic High. They won the state Football championship in Iowa this season, and just won the Basketball championship too. First basketball one ever, and first football one since 1983. They always got there alot, but always choked in the big game. This time they won by about 30. Same thing in basketball; just killed them.
Although I have to admit we dropped down to 3A two years ago. With declining enrollment in private schools almost everywhere, they had no choice to drop from 4A. But doing so gave Heelan almost overwhelming superiority. They've won the Baseball championship twice as well. And the girls have won the state Volleyball championship at least twice. They made it to the basketball championship game this year, but got creamed. So at least something went wrong!
Anyway, I'll get off my soapbox now, just wanted to brag a little about my alma mater.
