Odds 'n Ends from the Cub

  • Danielle "Roadblock" Justice has NOT yet decided on a college. Her mom, Sue, said she wants to go someplace where she can play immediately, even if she doesn't get a scholarship.

  • There will NOT be a Courtney Walsh Girls Hockey Holiday Tournament this year - drat! Our kids from Indiana are coming up for Christmas, and we were all hoping to go to that tourney.

  • The girls hockey team plays at Breck, Saturday, December 22, @ 3:00 - may be a good place to meet the kids when they come into town.

  • This year our girls tennis and soccer teams beat St. Cloud Tech and Moorhead, respectively, for the first time ever. Abby Williams and Kat DelZoppo, our hockey stars, scored the goals in a 2 - 0 win over the Spuds this week. Makes one realize girls sports are still relatively new.

  • The cub's neighbor, Dan Nelson, drove this year's Hall of Fame honoree, Bud Peterson, in his Jaguar. He's looking for a buyer of the '89 convertible. Only 800 were made.

  • Tom Akenson squired the Class of '67 and '68 around town Friday during the homecoming parade in his antique fire engine. The cub reporter was the sole representative of the Class of '65 in the parade. If Byron Peterson would have shown up with the Main Street drag machine it would have created a stir. Maybe some other time.

  • Note from the trailboss: Not to be critical, not to boast, but a look at photos of the float entries provided by the cub causes a moment of nostalgia for the time when the Class of '65 won the best float trophy three years in a row. One of those years John Herdan hosted the construction in his garage.

    Lots of fun, lots of time. "Grind Glenwood," "Fergus Otter Fall," great themes from the past! Looking at the examples sent by our photographer, looks like we still might have kicked some serious butt!
