A group of 8th Grade boys from ECMS paid homage to the 1976 Wildcat Basketball State Championship Team during the Halloween festivities by dressing up in their honor (with 70's style socks and wigs, of course). Four different members from the original team stopped by to be part of the day as they posed with the "team" with the actual championship trophy.

What a cute idea. As a cheerleader for this great team, I appreciate the homage. Thanks for the memories!

Now, if they REALLY wanted to pay homage, they needed those *short* shorts worn in the 70s. That would've been a hoot! :)
