Treasure Hunt- 2011

Last place team getting their last clue!!!

We did it again. We had our 2nd Annual varsity basketball treasure hunt. Our adult drivers were Coach Andie Allison, Coach Jaque Gohlinghorst, and Coach Michelle Wynne. Coach Allison's team was the winner this year. Here were our questions--

1- If you are going deer hunting, you are going to need one of these. I don't have one, but I know where you can find 3 of them.

2- What are those machines that count radiation? We have one at GHS that counts baskets.

3- YHHOUBNGOR

4- In 1988 his fastball smoked, now his whole house smokes.

5- When a car gets old, they put it in this yard.

6- The college is gone but the court is still there.

7- Math problem-- (Old Main built - Streaks wins last year - when Cinderella had to be home)
(Supposed to be knee high by 4th of July + my first initial + first name of an Anderson who played bball)

8- If Ronald Reagan's mother needed a cup of sugar, she might have gone here to get one.

9- If Steve Bartman was in Galesburg, this is where he would sit.

10- Someone really misses you. They are a weeping _______ .

"I Doubted I'd Ever be a Streak"

The old GHS located just off the square.

When we think about segregation and racism in America during the 20^th century, most of us in the North immediately turn out thoughts to the South. The reality is that there were many examples of segregation and racism in the North during the 20^th century.

My mother told a story of when my father was coaching basketball in Savanna, Illinois in the 1940’s. Savanna was located about 40 miles from Wisconsin, so definitely the “North.” My father had an African-American player on his team. If the team was going to stop for a meal after a road game, my father would always go into the local restaurant to see if they would serve an African-American. If they would not, he would go back out and tell the team, “The restaurant is full.” And they would look for another place to eat. Having grown up in the 1960’s, I found this story to be a revelation. I was sure that only happened in the South.

This is a real collector's item- 2003 Sweet 16 which was

That is still a state record for boys or girls- 9 straight Sectional titles.

Today's t-shirt is from 1999. It is the shirt printed after we won the Supersectional and were headed to Redbird Arena. It was a great year, we went on to finish 2nd in State.
