As of tomorrow, five years ago, I stumbled into, accidentally found and blindly wandered into where I belong.

The 2008 Football season came to a close for the Cottage Grove Lions, finishing out of the playoff bracket. It has always been hard implementing a new system and this is one of the consequences.
