: “We're ahead,
we're behind, were
tied,: that’s how the
basketball game went
between St. Mary’s of
Avoca and Gate of Heaven,
Thursday evening at the
school gymnasium. Like an
elastic band, that ball was
pulled, yanked, dumped
from basket to basket.
To the cheering, yelling,
screaming, stomping of
everyone, Gate of Heaven
in the last half of the fourth
quarter with a half minute
to go wins 83-82. And as the
coaches, teachers, and
parents were being given
mouth-to-mouth
resusitation the players
and cheerleaders were
jumping for joy.

so carried away with these
projects my children get
involved with, I would have
married at an earlier age

heart, liver and kidneys
would be in a younger and
better shape!
