How did you find that archive video. I played on that team in 1985. It was good to see some to the guys back when we were 17 and 18 now that i'm 42. Wow how things have changed. We ended up losing to grand ledge in the state tourney. It was our prom night, and half the team wasn't thinking about playing that day.  I think we finished the season 24-3 and ranked nationally 24th
