The school had like 100 something kids in grades 1-12....very small...

Best part of the story was the Blues Brothers style netting separating the "bleachers" from the court!

Born on the great South Side. Lived there until 3rd grade then moved to Chicago Heights where I grew up and went to HS.

Last Saturday I had 6th grade boys travel tournament and worked six straight games starting at 9am. Then worked another two games (boy/girls varsity combo) that started at 6pm. All the games were played at the same school. Ice on the knees and a cold one were the ticket for me when I got home....
