As ardent sport fans know, Las Vegas had recently posted odds of 980,000,000 to 1 that three players from the same out-of-state high school would qualify for induction at the HALL OF ORG in three consecutive matches. The Director (sadly) thought it would be a foolish bet, but on September 4, 2015 the most unlikely miracle happened at the HALL. Three Cyclone-classmates from Sacred Heart-Griffin located in Springfield, Ill.travelled 3,504 miles to try to be inducted; and in consecutive matches ALL 3 did. Sure God works in mysterious ways, but God's work has never been so mysterious. The first Cyclone to ORG was Ryan Johnson with a left-handed compact swing, which could be done in a telephone booth (and should stay there from this day forward.) In warm-up, Ryan, known for his strong soccer tackles, showed little promised. But once his match began, Ryan constantly bellowed- "This ORG is for Shay." To the shock the crowd, Shay provided the necessary inspiration, and Ryan rocked ORG with one of his line-drive shots. His abbreviated swing provided a decisive victory for this Cyclone on a windy day. The next inducted Cyclone was Chris Noonan, who most thought would have much better luck kicking the golf ball than using a PGA approved club to ORG. Yet, in the second match with the caressing help of his caddy Gabby the renowned waitress from Springfield, Chris managed his first ORG, or at least, his first roof-top ORG. Chris hung on to win the second match The remaining Cyclone, Grant Bitzer, pleaded for another match, but the DIrector saw no point, and the crowd dispersed. However, once Grant explained he came from a family of Chief Illiniweks, the Director reversed himself and proclaimed there would be one more match. It remains inexplicable, but for that one game, Grant scored consistently and ORGED to secure a decisive victory. When traveling through Springfield, please congratulate these Cyclones. You are likely to find them in Boones Salon.
