Just wanting to talk about because of the now that you have a winning team people are going to whole Larry Brown turning the team around is just student body is really spirited and I can tell by the amount record. People are like ‘Hey, have you heard about our grow accustomed to going to games and getting into the making everyone want to come to the games. The of people that participate in singing in “Varsity” because basketball team?’ or ‘Did you see the basketball game?’ school spirit type thing. Similar to state schools, even if fact that people are having to camp out for tickets prior to the basketball team’s success people would leave I think people have spirit in the school, but it allows us the school is not necessarily having a winning season and everything....I’m in the band so I go to a lot of either before the game ended or as soon as it ended. But to actually showcase our spirit and talk about it with people still go just because it’s tradition and that’s what the“ games and it’s a huge difference from last year now“ that the team sings “Varsity” and Larry Brown sings “other people.
