Thanks

Last night as the Columbia basketball team returned home, Adam Pittman made a comment that I thought was special, saying how much the seniors were going to miss playing in the Columbia gym.

Coach Mark Wisler and Mike Seibert also thanked the fans for their support.

It was definitely a special season, not only for the players, but the fans as well.

Although the site was almost two hours from Columbia, Saturday's game had a "home court" feeling as more than 300 fans made the trek. Strawberry Mansion might have had about 30 fans.

There are a lot of thanks to go around -- first to the players and coaches for giving the fans a great season, one that will go down as one of the best in the history of the school; to the fans, for their loyal support of the team, and for those who arranged for the three fan buses that got many of the fans to the game Satuday. You can all be Columbia proud.

Columbia basketball is certainly back as a major player at the league, district and state level.
