Key yeaterday. For the first time
in her young life, our oldest got
enough fried chicken and the things

including the coaches, even if they
did get dunked, clothes and all!
It’s one way of getting even lor
all those long afternoons of prac

There’s another top notch bas

night at the High School Gym. The
Conchs will take on Miami Senior
High School. If it’s as exciting as
the game with Coral Gables, bet

I'm real proud of our team. Coral
Gables knew they were in a bas
ketball game right down to the
final minute. The Gabies coaches
shuddered when they found out
that the Conchs had been practic
ing basketball for less than two
weeks. They’d been at it since
October!
