in the spirit of hall's great tribute to jimmy here's two more good news stories in a down year of team disappointments, smaller crowds and crumbling facilities:
1. THE BRONCO CHEER TEAM: in more than twenty years of following bronco sports never have i seen such a large, professional, and well orchestrated effort as i did friday night. there were about two dozen fully decked out cheer members (with a record number of guys), complete with a banner. they were energetic and exuded the kind of class you see at big DI programs. awesome job, team!!!!
2. THE BRONCO PEP BAND: this band holds a special place in my heart, for some eight years ago i presented the idea of a pep band to dan bridges, then our athletic director, after a call to dave koppin, professor of music. the rest of the story is pure magic, as this group has grown and spread its glorious sounds all over the state. now this awesome band is talking about the ULTIMATE roadie, 14 hours in a van to arcata! bronco fans should come out to senior night saturday just to hear this great group!
anybody seen Billy Bronco? we're missing our mascot!
