Last night was a great experience for the Collins players and fans. Very few, if any schools have made it to the state championship in just their 3rd year. Collins brought a large crowd and I believe that they had more fans than Highlands. They had a whole community cheering them on (except for those few people who are still bitter about the split and aren't mature enough to cheer for both teams). Collins played hard all night long, even though they couldn't get anything to go their way. They had a great season, and with just about everyone coming back, they should be even better next year. Now they know what it takes to be a championship program, and I wouldn't be surprised if they are playing in Bowling Green again this time next year.

I thought about that when I found out Collins made it to the finals. If I was still in Shelbyville, I would have made the trip down to BG.
