Nov. 11, the Mighty Cubs traveled to Sweetwater, to face off against the Ralls Jackrabbits for the Bi-District Championship. The Cubs did not face the Jackrabbits alone as a great many from the community of Olney made the two and half-hour drive to Sweetwater. The POOHS and rowdy students Olney ISD also made the trip and would be considered the 12th player on the field.
PATIENCE IS A VIRTUE. A virtue is behavior showing high moral standards. Patience is a quality that is definitely in short supply and isn’t necessarily taught anymore by parents or mentors. I don’t point this out without being a sufferer of impatience myself, but we are living in “gotta have what I want right now” times and nothing short of complete internet outage looks to change that. By next year who knows about that little bit of prophecy. We order things we want online, and we are given quick fix solutions to problems that developed over time and pretend like everything should just happen overnight. It’s a sad situation really and I would think Envy has a role in this.
On Nov. 24, the Lady Cubs were given a send-off by Olney ISD. The City of Olney was ready to send the ladies off with a bang by providing Olney Volunteer Fire Department and EMS vehicles for escort duty.
On Nov. 5, the Mighty Olney Cubs took the field for the last game of the regular season. The Cubs fought hard against the Nacona Indians to decide which team would end the season in third place and end the season in fourth place.
My co-host on Lawdog Sports, Cory Hogue, accuses me of having “get off my lawn moments,” which is referencing the Clint Eastwood movie “Grand Torino,” in which he points a rifle at some ruffians and utters the phrase in his famous gravelly tone.
