I have been supervising Perham football games for the past 15 years. During that time, we've hosted many exciting competitions, rivalries with neighboring towns, and playoff games. However, the Staples Motley fans who packed the bleachers on Saturday night, were by far the loudest, and showed the most spirit of any team we've hosted. Our staff couldn't recall a time when the visiting fans outnumbered the home fans. It was truly impressive.

It's been a few years since I've called myself a "Cardinal", 25, in fact. But I'm glad to see school spirit and pride are alive and well in my old home town.
