Where does this team rank?

It’s something that already the talk of the town, but just how does the 2007-08 Crimson Tide boys’ basketball team that won 26 of its 31 games compare to some of the other great teams in school history?

That’s where you the reader and basketball fan come into play. We want to hear the thoughts of the basketball fans and others, who have followed the program for decades. Is this team as good as the best team ever to play at Columbia? As good as the team that won the state title back in 1987? As good as the team that won a district title in 1994? Or, as good as the team that lost to Wampum in 1958?

This year’s team won the school’s first section basketball title in 14 years; made it to the semi-finals of the L-L League playoffs; won 20 straight games and also qualified for the district and state playoffs.

We also want to hear your thoughts on the season. Any special moments the fans might have.

Was it the night that Adam Pittman and Mike Seibert both went over the 1,000 point mark in the same game? Was it beating Lancaster Catholic for the section title?
We will be seeking your input on these two questions for the next three weeks and publish your answers in the March 27 edition of the Columbia Ledger.

There are a few ways to make this happen.

One is my email, by sending your thoughts to columbialedger@embarqmail.com; by letter, sending the information to 262 Locust St., or via the Tide Talk blog, which can be reached at www.chronicleledgernewsgroup.com.

Let’s see what develops.
