Thank you for these @scottie2hotty. I like a nice track and field facility around a football field. Wherever the shot put ring is in that complex, I hope there's a memorial plaque recognizing Jesse Stuart nearby. The former high school record holder and All-American shot putter passed away last year. One of the nicest and gentlest giants I've had the pleasure to have met. He was a delight to interview.

Rag doll rim hanging over four games must have been exhausting for them.

Different era, Exhibit 2: I was tending bar in Cincy. Had a transistor radio in the kitchen tuned in to Dale and Hardy on WHKK. Found myself checking the keg levels . . . frequently.

Different era, Exhibit 1: 1981 - Simon Kenton vs. Mason County. "World Record" for a high school basketball game per KHSAA commissioner Tom Mills.
