Coach On The Rez Series, Episode II

WITH THE STUDENT body's anticipated interest for subsequent year standing at seven football players, 5 volleyball players, and 3 boys and 4 girls for basketball, the Bobcats appeared to be completed when it came to sports. The student enrollment was becoming so low, even the potential to retain higher college status was in query.

The program for subsequent year was to combine sports applications with their cross-mountain Colville Reservation rival. The San Poil uniforms have been the colors green and white, the Arrow Lakes colors had been green and gold; a new Arrow Lakes-San Poil cooperative sports plan may possibly hopefully combine these colors, and just possibly the Archers may possibly come to be the Archer Cats.

That is what the group were pondering and discussing earlier in the evening as they wound their way up a dark Highway 21, across Bridge Creek and more than Huckleberry Mountain. They believed their little ones would be fine and, just perhaps, the larger college may use their coach also. Their hopes have been sturdy and every single particular person in the van had a vested interest in the proposed mixture: the children!

Capable let off the accelerator as they rounded a corner and, in plain view ahead of them, a mountain lion gradually crossed the highway. The large cat stopped, glanced more than its shoulder and, with no urgency, the cougar moved on. It was in no hurry and did not appear to be afraid of something. Mr. Graffis remarked, "Hey, a cougar crossing our path - That is superior luck!"

Bear responded, "Not if you happen to be a white-tail or just about any other game animal in the forest!"

But on the way back from the joint-board executive session, Doc Ford, the San Poil board chair, explained it as he saw it. "Appear, just amongst these 5 directors, they will likely have 5 boys and 4 girls on subsequent year's varsities. They never want our little ones to beat them out of beginning positions... "

"... or take playing time away from their kiddos." Kathy Kamiak chimed in. "I guess they welcome the numbers for football and volleyball, and it will not even come close to bumping them up to 2B status, but they will have to've had guarded hopes for their kiddos in basketball."

Abruptly, out of the darkness, anything hit the windshield with a heavy thump! It bounced off with no harm to the shatter-proof glass window. "Wow, that was significant, was it a kokulk, a blue grouse?" queried a startled Storey Whitelaw.

In a position answered, "Oh, no, I assume it was an owl, judging by the size, I'd say it should a been one a these superior-horned owls; took my breath away... possibly broke the wiper, but we're okay."
