My greatest high school sports memory was beating La Salle in basketball in their Brick Oven. They hadn't lost at home in years.
My kids practice there with their club team. It's been newly renovated. Very nice gym, but they still call it the Brick Oven!
 
Even a blind (and podunk) squirrel finds an acorn every now and again............

My best friend and I were the center and pf, and we're both 6'4". Your starting pg was 6'3. I'm pretty sure you guys even went on to win state that year. But we were happy with the victory.

You guys sucked at football. That was always fun.

Yep. Football was the one thing Gladstone was very, very good at back in the day. Unfortunately, LaSalle couldn't afford a football team until after I graduated. And they only did it then because the old Portland Storm (of the World Football League???) donated all their equipment to the school when the league folded. And it only took LaSalle 45 years to win a state championship. and probably another 45 years until they do it again.....
 
That's actually where my sister lives. She owns what used to be the Dicky Prairie store. It is very nice out there.....despite the loud banjo twanging.......
When I was in hs a met a girl that was from there. She and a few of her friends would drive down to broadway and/or The Speck.
She turned me on to the logging bridge swimming hole out that way.
 
They were 3A before reclassification, but on the smaller side for their conference. Not sure what they are now, but my HS was only 100 or so students larger. They just sucked at sports.

yeah, we played them as a 3a school when I went to a 3a school back in late-90’s/2000.
 
There are not-so-great places everywhere. Admittedly, the South does get quite the negative stigma. That said, I've really enjoyed living here. One thing's for absolute sure: The roads are significantly in better shape than those in Oregon. I've been through Alabama quite often. Never lived there, but it's a very pretty state. As the article states, Huntsville has a lot going for it. Not suprising it made the list. Tops, for that matter.

I didn’t say anything about “not-so-great places”. I even gave Huntsville some positive love.

Just said I can’t agree with anything in Alabama (or the South, for the most part), being most desirable to live.

BUT…. If one if considering the masses, I suppose some place in the south might come in #1 with Trump-humpers running the poll.
