The big news in Rock Rapids
By Bruce B. Brugmann
There is no bigger news, nor more excitement, in Rock Rapids, Iowa, and the other little towns in the Midwest, than when their high school has a winning football season.
(Sometimes, it is basketball or baseball.)
Our football team at Central Lyon is now in the semi-finals in the state tournament in Cedar Falls, putting a 23 game winning streak on the line, and is playing right now this afternoon.
Jim Wells is flashing me the play by play. He reports that most of the town is at the game.
First play of the game: "WE LOVE IT!!!!! First play of the game. Carroll has the ball. Central Lyon gets touchdown!!!! C.L. 7-0"
Next report: Halftime score: Central Lyon 28-Carroll 0.
I'll keep you posted. B3
