It was posted of facebook a couple of time yesterday...
Why would a town of 2756 need a basketball gym to seat 4500?
Why would you need to arrive at the gym when the doors open to get the seat you want
or even 45 minutes before to get a seat at all?
It is small town southern Indiana basketball.
It was a packed house at Jack Butcher Arena last night.
Many had come to cheer on the defending state champs
And while the Barr-Reeve Vikings boasted a #3 ranking in the state and a nearly
perfect record...that one loss came from Loogootee early in the season.
And while both teams have many fans that can root for IU together, when it comes
to local ball each has their favorite!
Barr-Reeve came out the victor last night.
But the fans from both sides were there to cheer on their team.
Our senior cheerleader Morgan made us proud in cheering on the Lion fans
in their yellow state champs FAN shirts. The cheer block was loud and the cheer block
was proud of their Loogootee Lions.
My favorite part was after the game and after the loss when the cheer block chanted
Loogootee Lions and Thank You Seniors.
And our Senior Sarah was one of the loudest fans.
Best of luck to the BR Vikings as they advance to the next round.
Represent small town southern Indiana ball!
