This week's column

I am writing this week’s column on Tuesday morning and by my count, the history making Columbia boys’ basketball team has three games left in the regular season.
The first would be tomorrow night against Lancaster Mennonite; Monday’s game at Catholic and next Wednesday’s home game with Annville-Cleona.
I probably shouldn’t have to write this, but I will. Here is a call for Columbia basketball fans, of all ages (you know the drill) to pack Elmer Kreiser Gym tomorrow night and next Wednesday and make that brief little road trip down Route 30 on Monday.
I’ve seen the bandwagon filling up over the last few weeks. Let’s not jump off the bandwagon for the games against Mennonite and A-C because they don’t mean as much as Monday’s game. Some Columbia fans have a tendency to do that.
Remember you can’t have Monday night without two wins this week, including tomorrow night. That’s why it is important for fans to pack the stands.
The same goes for next Wednesday’s regular season finale with Annville-Cleona. Sure, the Tide may have won the section title by the time that one is played. But, it’s important to show the boys that the town cares, no matter the outcome on Monday and to thank them for such as great season.
There has been plenty of positive things written about the team during their 18-game winning streak. Positive things about the place they play in, so as fans, we need to keep the momentum going -- right through the end of the regular season, the L-L playoffs and the rest of the post-season, however, long that might be.
