first was for winning a holiday basketball tournament, and the second was a
10-point whitetail their bus dispatched on the drive home! You’ll also read

Bus Bags Buck

of a public school bus might seem unusual. But it didn’t bother the members of
the
basketball team, whose bus hit and killed a magnificent 10-point buck while
returning from a game in a holiday tournament one night between Christmas and
New Years.
