The sun is out today, brilliant, and the skies are clear after the steady sprinkles we've been having. The colors are so intense, especially the last leaves backlit in the sunshine. This is my favorite time of year.
What's coming up next is high school basketball. Practice starts Monday. The local papers today announced that two of our stars have signed with the future college teams.
Brittany Gray, 5'11" forward, is headed to Gonzaga where her big brother Steven is making a name for himself. Brittany set new records last year and will break some more this year. The Spartans Girls B-team went to the Class 3-A tournament last year and they have four starters back, so it could be a great year.
Ben Eisenhardt, the 6'10' center/forward, is headed to Seattle University. He's the tall talent the team will revolve around. His team has a new coach and most of last year's team were seniors, so this will be a building year, perhaps.
I think there's something in the water here. The kids are great and the excellence they demonstrate in every field is inspiring. Each year on Halloween I'm impressed with the kids who come to my door. They say "Happy Halloween," they take one piece of candy without being asked, and they always say thank you. Good work parents, kids, teachers and the whole community.
