Congrats to the Mountain View High School Cougars on bringing home the first football state title to Bend in 71 years (more in-depth story on OregonLive). We were getting scoring updates during our dress rehearsal for our concert tomorrow. As someone who was captain of a state championship team at Mountain View (1995 Cross Country), let me be the first to say you will never forget this day. I will never forget holding that Oregon championship blue trophy in my hands, presenting it to the school and the student body at an assembly, and I know you will not, either. No matter where all your lives go after this, there will always be this day, and you will always share this moment. Congratulations to all of you!
