]]> Comment on Blizzard boys by Dan Hinrichs http://www.wearegrantsburg.com/2012/02/06/blizzard-boys/comment-page-1/#comment-23386 Dan Hinrichs Tue, 07 Feb 2012 18:46:18 +0000 http://www.wearegrantsburg.com/?p=3593#comment-23386 This reminds me a lot of when the Gonzaga basketball team made a name for themselves years ago- they didn't gain respect because they consistently rolled through their mid-major conference, it was because they made statement win after statement win in the NCAA tournament. Through those tournament wins against top competition they earned the respect they deserved and now are consistently given fair tournament seeds. It also doesn't help that teams like Superior and New Richmond never see the opposition the Blizz play- all they can go on is record. Of the six teams in the Two Rivers, four are below .500, two of them significantly below. (The Blizz did go 6-0 against teams in the section and ended up seeded higher than all of them, which is certainly right.) To break into that upper echelon it's going to take a run in the tournament...and after seeing them wear down Minneapolis last weekend and River Falls the weekend before that, I feel they've got a great shot to do just that.

I was Zachary's cousin too. At the time, I was 13 years old. I would see Zachary at family events, and I could tell everyone was very fond of him. I am ashamed to admit it, but I was not close to Zachary. I always saw him, but I was too shy to talk. Looking back, almost three years later, I see how much of a difference we all could have made. My school has been struggling with two suicides, and let me tell you, it is not easier the second time. My deepest sympathies to all of you with hurt from a loss. Thank you sir for posting this. -Aisha Hi there. I was Zachary’s cousin too. At the time, I was 13 years old. I would see Zachary at family events, and I could tell everyone was very fond of him.
