Rediscovering home: St. Regis Resort District
Columnist Bruce Moats against Alberton's Dave Rankin.
The rivalry in Mineral County was a real cat fight. The Tigers, Panthers and Bobcats hated to lose to each other. It was like brothers, and now sisters, going at each other in the backyard.
I had the recent privilege of getting reacquainted with two of my rivals, Tiger Clay Jensen and Panther Darrell Cooper. We couldn’t tackle Darrell as he racked up, if memory serves, up to 200 yards against us my senior year. Jensen was a menace in whatever sport he played. I had my best football game ever my junior year, subbing for an injured Jeff Brockway, rushing for more than 100 yards in St. Regis.
But our quarterback fumbled twice within the two-yard line. We later learned he was playing with a concussion. Clay intercepted a pass that would have probably given the Tigers the win, but it was called back because of a clip.
