HHI THANKS GIVING

By Your Athletic Supporter, Jack Strap,

There is much HHI THANKS GIVING to be done starting with the strong friendships of the HHI Founding Fathers that have been further strengthened by 20+ years of hooping.  Then there's HHI THANKS GIVING for the many-many new friends made over these golden years of basketball at Cornwall Terrace, the Owls Sports Complex, Ozzie's, Grace Church, and of course--Da Hills.  Also HHI THANKS GIVING to the new generation of Hoopsters that kept the league going thru the 20th Anniversary a few months back which was very important to me.  Those new players appear to have mixed well with some long-timers and of course the remaining Founding Fathers still playing regularly: Swoop & Mighty.

Mighty Kerr should be commended with HHI THANKS GIVING for the fine job he's doing keeping The League organized & moving forward despite the increasing number of Hoopsters retired, relocated, injured, etc.  I enjoy reading his HHI Reports and also re-post them on the Hills Hoops Inc. (HHI) Facebook page http://www.facebook.com/pages/Hills-Hoops-Inc-HHI/140604299289633?ref=ts&fref=ts.  HHI THANKS GIVING that Kerry also made a brilliant HHI Organ-i-zation (say it like an olde time hockey player) move a few years back by appointing Coach Bill as HHI Director of Recruiting.

Coach Bill was once chastised for recruiting/inviting players when HHI was in its hey-day & players attendance was booming.  But now he's a modern day HHI Hero earning THANKS GIVING for doing so as a Hoopsters infusion has been much needed for HHI Sustainability.  That's why I have his back regarding the NCAA sanctions that were just levied against him for so called HHI Recruiting Violations.

Once again the NCAA has over-stepped its bounds by Vacating all of Coach Bill's HHI Daily Championships, but then they just added Insult to Injury by vacating all of his Deuces.  Well Jack Strap isn't going to sit idly by during NCAA vs. Coach Bill as I plan to reprise this trial scene from Animal House: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ROxvT8KKdFw    

Happy THANKSGIVING from HHI!!!
