This is one of those stories that you can’t help but be touched by. After reading Tuesday’s story about McClymonds High’s financial road block to staying in a hotel during their trip to the state finals this weekend, a group of parents from the Monte Vista boys and girls basketball program got together and have compiled $1,100 to donate to the McClymonds program. This is just one of those things that make you truly appreciate how good and generous people can be. I have a story going in tomorrow’s papers and it’s already posted online.

To the mack team, I just want to say: when you do good things and stay positive it always comes back to you. Continue to do what you do,and stay true to who you are and those around you, and maybe one day you can share that blessing with someone else. And to the Monte Vista parents, thanks for showing the world what true love is all about.If we all help somebody the world we be a better place!!!!

Honestly, it’s no surprise. Powers is a class act and those kids, specifically Barbour and Ertz, were two of the nicest kids I ever had the chance to write about. Good luck Mack!!!!

All I know is:
By Mr. Bill Powers & Monte Vista High School Community making a “Class Move” like that one, the school & community of Monte Vista has my respect & the respect of “a lot” of people that know about the story.
(I’ll just put it this way – “Monte Vista has a new fan base because of it”)
“No One” will every forget about this.
(I know that I never will)
“Way To Go”!!!!!!!!!!!
&
Good Luck to “Mack Men” & to the “Ladies of Monte Vista”!!!!!
Lets Bring the Men & Women Championship home!!!!!
