And the regional-champion Eagles made the front page of the March 20 Ohio County Times!
Not above the banner, but still ...
Of course, the new barbershop made P1, too. (Real me had my hair cut here one time along about 1998!) (Also, I love walnut paneling.)
So, I know ... let's make this movie about this little high school and its basketball team in Kentucky in 1969, and let's put all in all of this sign-of-the-times, touchstone stuff like ... hmmm? ... oh, I know, one of the former students who has been drafted could write a letter home, cheering on the basketball team ... and there could be all kinds of cultural-warfare stuff like fights going on in town about sex education in the schools ... maybe some warmed-over integration stuff ... oh, and, hey, I've got it! ... the kids at the school could write back to the soldier with a--get this!--50-FOOT LETTER THANKING HIM FOR HIS SERVICE ... that'll be gr- ... well ... nyah, too hackneyed ... none of that stuff would've really been going on all at the same time ...
Let's get back to the basketball team (and some big snakes in Central Grove) ...
Eat up, boys!
