I think it all started with Coach Baker's retirement party this past summer. Opposing coaches from surrounding schools flocked to the party. Even Billy Johnson made an appearance. And although Coach Lippelman from Scott City put on a good show as a stand-up comedian, it's looking more and more like he knew Scott City was dropping to 3A and wanted to glean a few trade secrets. Some conspiracy theorists have even ventured to guess that somebody spiked the punch on that fateful summer night. If so, this would have been such a shock to the virgin immune systems of these young student-athletes that it might take at least a year to recuperate. But most importantly, one of the former wrestlers (seems like it was either Derek Jones or one of the Schippers twins) made the mistake of announcing Baker's secret formula. And now all teams in northwest KS know about the healing qualities of cider.
