It is a sad day, indeed, when a person can’t find a high school basketball tournament game on the television. Public broadcasting used to start coverage on Wednesday, and now I can’t find even one on championship Saturday. There are enough stations now available on cable that they should be able to televise all the games.
I traveled to the Cross Center in Bangor and the spirit of the old auditorium shone through. The No. 1 ranked school was playing the No. 2 school in the first game. Between the third and fourth quarters, the band from the No. 1 ranked school started playing the No. 2 school’s fight song. That side erupted by standing, stamping and singing, with the cheerleaders and mascot leading — a sign of days gone by.
Televise them all.
